    Its his choice to keep them not yours. Why not tell the trawlers to release their catches aswell?

    Where in my post did i tell him not to keep them?

    And where did i say he doesn't have a choice?

    Of course he has the choice, if he didn't have a choice then it obviously wouldn't be up for discussion.

    I simply suggested he throw a few back sometimes, instead of keeping every single fish he catches.

    Also, i clearly presume he fishes recreationally rather than making a living from it, so your suggestion for me to tell trawlers to release their catches is ridiculously unrelated.

    Thanks CJ :)

    Bohernabreena resevoir in Tallaght, Dublin. It a small enough lake, no river draining into it, gets stocked every year.

    It went a bit mad, i didnt let him tire i just dragged him ashore, felt bad for the poor guy i didnt have a net and the bloody hook wouldnt come out for ages, he swam off alright though.

    Just didnt want to let him get away, i caught one a couple hours before that and it felt far bigger, but he threw the hook so i wasnt taking a chance by playing this one.

    Delighted.

    What did that monster weigh? Is that your PB?

    were not sure on weight as we didn't have a scales on board and were anxious to get him back before he came to harm.... ( or before he devoured us)

    I cant claim the fish though.... hence title lough O'Flynn Pike... not Macspowers PB :(

    I'm gettting myself a 25 this year though...

    I posted it on another forum at the time to get an idea of weight and experienced pikers estimated anywhere from 18lb to 27 lb..

    I think it was 25

    I know about conservation alright but seeing as there are no laws for keeping fish from the sea I can't see his problem.

    I have no problem with keeping fish, so maybe thats why you cant see it.

    Killing piles of fish that you have no use for, now i'd definitely have a problem with that.

    A lot of sea anglers freeze surplus mackerel during summer, for use as bait during winter.

    No offence mate but theres definitely no need to keep all of them, why not throw some back after you catch them?

    Considering there are two rods there I assume that is the combo of two mackie hauls; I wouldn't say therefore that it was an excessive amount of fish to have kept by any means. As someone else said, he could of been using some for bait or perhaps he may of been keeping them for the freezer; macks keep exceptionally well in the freezer.

    Hi ryan the reason i kept them is the fishing on the east cost tends to be sh1t to be honest. Im a lover of makeral and i still have some in the freezer we caught these on friday and on saturday when we went fishing we returned most of the catch only on sunday did we keep a few more. The above was between two of us. That makes only 35 makeral each *think it was 70*. not really a hole lot to be honest!
    These are purley for eating i dont fish during the winter due to shooting !

    Trout I caught in castlecoote, river suck. First one appears to have been attacked by a pike. I uploaded this mainly because of the second one. It looks like a perch but with closer examination it has a trouts spots and broown colour (May not be noticeable in photo). Perch/Trout hybrid?

    Yeah the first one was the biggest I've caught there, good fight on him too. The second one is DEFINATELY not a perch as I had caught a perch earlier a few mins before I caught him and compared them. He looks like it in the picture though.
