Re: Record Seatrout
Hi Guys. I am old enough to remember a large sea trout caught in the sea in Achill in 1973. It weighed 14 lb 3 oz and stood as an Irish record for ten years.

Unfortunately the claim that this is the biggest sea trout caught from the sea is incorrect. The previous record to the present record (16 lbs 6 oz from the Shimna River in Co Down In 1983) was set in 1973 at Dooagh Beach in Achill Island by Eoin Bresnihan from Leeds in 1973 with a sea trout of 14lb 3oz on a mackerel strip. An 11 lbs. 6 oz fish was caught in the Rogerstown estuary in 1997 on Ragworm by Alan O’Neill Donabate.]
Tight lines.
