No photo on the Swilly website but it was definitley caught on the Enterprise - estimated 60-80lb taken on a tope trace by a crew from Derry who were Tope fishing.

May be a photo in a few days.

Just got few pics of the Porbeagle that was caught last week in the Swilly. It was 86lb and caught off Dunaff. Angler was Conrad McGilloway from Derry. The fish came to the boat in only 18 minutes.

Despite the blood in the main pic, the fish was unharmed and went back strongly.
