The shore record was caught from Newquay Co Clare in the channel around 500 m from Linnanes pub and restaurant which is around 15 miles from Ballyvaughan.

It was 60 something lbs.

Its strange the tope must migrate to the east coast during the winter as they are not reported as being caught in the west coast during the winter as far as I know.
