Re: Specimen Bass, 5th October 2009
Well done Pat - how many specimens is that? Six?
That must be a record - has anybody else caught that many specimen bass in a year? - and you still have the best part of three months to add a few more to your tally.

I'm still buzzing to be honest Frank. Can't get over it, it took me so long to get a specimen in the first place. My first was in 1984 and it took me a full 24 years to get another...and then this year



There are a few others who have done the same. I'm quite sure JimH, JHall & GHill have, and more than likely Cortaz too. I know Jim from Cork might be heading in that direction. He opened his account last Friday with a fine specimen of 10lb 8oz. Well done to Jim
