Specimem Smoothound Help

#1 Post by philthefish »

HI Lads.
Looking for help.
On the 11-6-2016 i was fishing on Ballhealy beach and caught a specimen smoothhound.
Unfortunately the photos are'nt great and the specimen committe are looking for better one's.
Other lads took photos that night and as a longshot i'm hoping somebody on this forum might have one.
Would be grateful if anybody could help.
Thanks
Phil

Was it weighed on a certified scales or photographed on a recognized measure mat? if neither then they won't except the claim with good or bad photos.

You shouldn't really have a problem claiming then unless the photo is so bad they cant tell if its a`top dog or hound

You also need a picture of the mouth. I was refused one before perfect picture of hound but no mouth picture so refused.
