good to see you got a few fish.

just one thing are you sure it was a 3.5lb whiting :shock: .

if so i am on the way down the n11 when you reply :lol: :lol: .
haven't seen many around that size all my years.

if you were fishing from a boat out of cork or some place like that i would not be so surprised.

Well I'm pretty sure it was a whiting,I checked it in a book and everything.

I'll try and post the pics soon

Is there any other fish that would look like a whiting that could weigh 3.5 lbs

A 3.5 lb whiting is big, big even for a specimen!!!!
Congrats!

Cant think of any other fish that may be confused with it. If it had the small sharp teeth of a whiting, thats usually conclusive. Pollack etc excluded
A small ling?
