yes i did took it with me but didnt think the doggie was worth a photo i have never looked up the specimum weight for one i think they are an under rated catch some nights down bray i have taken loads 11 in one 2 hour session last year they are fun on a 3lb test pike rod thank god the days of seeing them left on the beach to rot seem to be gone
