3 lb whiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy smokes. Is that a typo? 1/3 lb whiting would be decent. Am I wrong in saying that 3lb is close to the record?? Was it not a codling?? If it was a whiting well done!

A 1lb Dab is a bit of a monster as well

Some serious whitting in that whole bay ,I and a few of the lads have had plenty around the 46cm size this year so not outside the realms of possibility that a 3lber could have been landed

I didn't have either a camera ir a ruler with me. The whiting was just about 50cm. It was a cracker. At first I thought it had to be a codling, but it was defo a whiting. It appeared to be a loner as I didn't see any other whiting landed at the same time.

Nice whiting!

clonker of a whiting, well done

lovely fish there lads.well done

Tried around the area today with no success, normal service is resumed!

Well done. It's a shore whiting of a lifetime. If they were all that big we wouldn't bother with the codling. Superb eating fish.

well done

thats a fine lump of a whiting lad..well done,grand dab too make a nice pie they would

hi jon, good to meet you buddy. it was myself and my son who came down to talk to you after you caught the whiting. we did'nt have any luck on the beach across the way after we left you. but we did come back later on and there was 2 local lads fishing where you were and they had 5 or 6 whiting all between 1lb and 2lb, but none as big as the stonker that you had.
but what surprised me was the fact that they did'nt seem too impressed with the crackers that they were catching
they reckoned that there were around about average for that spot
i told them that up north a 30cm whiting was a good one
good to meet you man and put a name to a face
