subjectRE: Which Mullet ? Grey or Golden Grey?

Bill,
Golden grey (big pectoral fin, mouth shape). Good specimen too. Congrats.

Record is 1.191 kg – specimen weight is 0.68 kg (1.5 lbs).

An angler caught one in the Shannon est about three years ago but not as big as your one.

I would be very interested in the body as I want to look at growth rate etc. If you get any additional fish a scale with a length (forklength) would be very much appreciated. I can send scale envelopes to you if you don’t have any.

Regards

Willie
