Sean,

Thanks Sean. It was a magical fish. Especially for Dublin which is renowned for its crap fishing! Down your way you can get good Ling but up here most boat anglers never even catch one or ever see one unless they head for Kilmore key. They just head south and hire a charter. The fishing up here is utterly awful and thats what makes this fish so special. It will take something very substantial in the future to ever best this fish for me.
