Rarely in here gents but was wondering if anyone heard of a HUGE Monkfish/Anglerfish taken in Tramore bay recently?

un -confirmed reports that it was 50+ kilo's is it even possible they go that big?

Cheers

Was it a Monk or an angler?

Not 100% Pete, I said surely not a Monk but he reckons it was, he may think they are 1 and the same? I'm correct in saying they are not?

Hope to find out more info over the weekend. Will keep ye posted.
