Big Fish - recent catches

#1 Post by pete »

Got info on these two catches in last week, both confirmed.

150lb porbeagle caught in salmon draft net in 20ft water in Donegal. Was 40 yards from rocks along shore of sandy bay.

Two 150 kg (haven't got exact weights yet) swordfish caught 60 miles south of Valentia in Kerry. Commercial boats pair trawling.

Hope to get pics of big porbeagle in next few weeks. Still some amazing fish out there :) 8)
