Hi,
Some time ago I quit posting on SAI forum. This was bad idea. So I.m back :)
In other thread I was complaining that my tope trip was cancelled. It looks like for consolation I beat my personal best in bass. Here is 78 cm long bass from Dingle. I do not know how much it weight because I want that fish back in the water as soon as possible, so measuring its length was method of choice to determine its size.

All the best to ya all,
Tommy

Have a look at this thread:

http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... hp?p=90967

78cm would seem to put it in the 10-12lb range :D

No, your 9.5lber was 9.5 lbs (+/- 0.51lbs). :lol:

Thanks for all your comments.

Yes I did. Like that very much – you can hear that water is alive! All that sandeels, escaping from under your feet, worms, crabs and birds on a beach. And what I like best – sound of bass striking on it’s prey. :)

I would say so. As I was holding that fish on my hands I would say that it was slightly more than 5 kg (11lb) – but of course that is only my guess.
