A huss of any size or shape would be nice as they have not played ball this year........ And of course a bass of any size would be great.

Would also like to beat my PB pike this year.

A specimen Pollack from the shore. I've caught them to 10 pound over the last few years so surely there's one a couple of pounds heavier lurking around those rock marks in Cork and Kerry. A shore caught specimen Small Eyed Ray would run a very close second.
