Oh yea, I've seen that conger being caught before :lol:
It should be about 20LBs now.

Congers can be funny things to try and estimate their weight but to be honest I don't think it's as big as 25lb

This one was just under 16lb

This one was 25lb

Both of those are taken holding the fish pretty much at my side to give a true indication of their size.

As Lee says they can be very hard things to estimate but DL i'd put him at about 15lb to 16lb, very nice shore fish. Bring a sack of some sort with you next time...pop her in that and they are a doddle to weigh.

would say its just over the 20lb mark. congers 10lb and over got from the shore are classed as specimen..well done.
