nice one man. dawsey was up there a few weeks back and found one washed up on the beach at the whiterocks. so there must have been a run of them up that way. there was also a garfish taken from the blue pool during the same week. so if thats global warming, i say bring it on :D :D :D

yeah looks like it they travel in the jet stream from the americas and normally arrive in cork its ment to be real rare that they travel up to the north coast. so im glad i caught 1 cause they mightened show there face for another couple of years. :lol: :lol: :lol:
