BTW
"It is only in the case of species which may be confused with other (and often larger) species that full documentation as to identify as required. Scales from the body of the fish must be submitted in the case of three species and the actual body must be sent for identification in no less than 24 species. Clear, sharp, close up photographs showing the entire fish with its fins, lateral line and other features easily seen are required in the case of 8 species. "
So for 24 species, a claim means a dead fish, a dead specimen or record fish. Presumably we'll never see the record for these species broken given all the specimens get knocked on the head for a :@:"@£ medal.
Okay, I'll get off the soapbox now...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
