Re: wrasse...
Red Bay in Co Antrim continued to set the pace for many of our marine species. Jan Vrieswijk from Holland created a new record for blackmouth dogfish of 1.33kg and Albert Koawenhourn, also from Holland, pipped the one-year-old record for spur dogfish by just 0.17kg. Of the 107 specimens claimed, 78 were caught in Red Bay.

Re: wrasse...
Agreed a big fat one at that too. Try a size six at that mark and you might pick up more or maybe one of the other mini wrasse. Bulk up the species.
