hi folks

was at inniscrone pier for a few hrs this evening, some how managed to foul hook a really weird fish - about 14" long but only about 1 cm deep - like a really thin Eel but with a little tube snout - a bit like a sea horse

dark green with goldish sides with little bars

anybody any ideas what it was
