#1 Post by corbyeire »

this may be a throw back to an alcohol imbibed brain but i heard before of this strange frankenfish - and then the last day up in sligo this guy pegged beside me asked if i ever came across a salmon-bass

how is my lunacy or have any other posters heard of this before?

Salmon-bass is the old nickname for bass, just like saithe for pollack and blackjacks for coalies.

the only other name i ever came accross for pollack was blossom.
