new record gilthead?

#1 Post by kieran »

Hiya

Did I miss something or has Rob got himself a 7 lb gilthead out of Cork Harbour - was checking the other mags (the competition!) and saw a photo of a massive bream, I think they said it was 3.4 kilos!!!

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

While he will have to wait until the 30th of Nov to see if it's the record (it surely is), here's the MONSTER!
