Nice fish alright, fair play. How long did it take you to land it?

From a shore? Wow!

Does anyone know what the record is for a tope caught from shore? It can’t be too far from 50lbps or is it?

Nice fish! Well done! Seriously, well done you!

Steve, need a lift down there?? :twisted:

There was a photo of a guy in one of the Sea Angler mags last year with a 55lb Tope taken off Kilcoole beach. You shoud send in that photo above, see if they print it.

I've seen a few big Tope overr the years, I would bet that Tope is well over the 40lb mark, it looks to be a solid looking specimen.
