Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

If possible, I would be interested in obtaining further details on this unusual albino dogfish. I am specifically interested in the following information:

Name & Address of Captor:
Date of Capture:
Location of Capture:
T.L. (cm)
Weight (gm)
Gender

Was the specimen returned or retained ?

Many Thanks,

Rarefish
I would like to hear from any anglers who have caught any unusual fish and/or species
