I agree there. For the likes of sea fishing and taking too many fish and fish under size they wouldn't be bothered about it.
Tell them about someone hooking a salmon and they'd be down in a heartbeat.

There's a difference between being bothered and being able to do something about it. The simple fact is some fish are protected by legislation and others aren't. But you know this.

So you kept it without knowing if they're eaten by people?

jack01986 · 01-09-2013 5:11pm

Don't think they are the best eating. I think their bones turn green when cooked so can be a bit off putting.

Dad kept it not me, he didn't know what it was, until he brought it back and I double checked online.

Auldloon · 01-09-2013 10:33pm

I've really had enough of people on this forum killing first and asking questions after. Does "dad" not have a phone in his pocket that takes pics? If people want to fish then at least educate yourself a bit before killing anything.

Did you get your pictures mixed up, they're both the same fish

dodderangler · 02-09-2013 12:57am

Top pic looks heavier

Auldloon · 02-09-2013 6:22am

Same fish alright. Look at the spots on the gill plate.

Come to think it is.
Have a look at the spots above the pectoral fin
They both have same gap and pattern

I did actually, uploaded two of the same fish both were practically the same size and hard to tell the difference when uploading from the phone. At least there is an extra good view of that one now. Will throw the other fish pic up later.

Kippure · 06-09-2013 4:27pm

From Anamoe. Had 8 landed fish average 3-4 pound.

popsy09 · 06-09-2013 8:50pm

had a battle with this last weekend on light gear 30lb class rod was great fun ,had 13 to the boat in 4-5 hours between 40-80lb approx and all returned to fight another day

Bromium · 09-09-2013 1:04pm

Taken on a size 18 Black Ant

okedoke · 09-09-2013 6:26pm

(very coloured) sea trout from Currane, already posted in the sea trout thread but its my best yet so I'll post it twice!. around 3lbs, took a Kate McLaren on the top dropper. Returned to fertilize some eggs hopefully.

and my first salmon on the fly, from a few weeks back 5lbs, took a small cascade

dodderangler · 09-09-2013 6:32pm

That's a smashing looking trout mate.
Lovely colours

monty_python · 10-09-2013 10:30pm

Caught 4/5 miles west of allihies with red plastic shrimp rig.

Your supposed to cook it before serving it up.
Seriously tho, a dead fish on a plate, sink or kitchen is not a good look. Much better to have a pic of the fish on the rocks, next to the rod and reel or even with a smiling angler and the water in the background.
This isnt a c&r rant. Far from it. If someone wants to keep a fish to eat then fine, just please dont have distasteful pics of it on a plate.
Ps well done on your first pollack. They dont half pull back.

Pj! · 11-09-2013 10:43am

Fair play monty_python.

Don't mind the nonsense about the 'rules' of fish pictures. Absolute codswallop. Nothing like catching a fresh fish straight from the sea for the dinner. Good healthy eating too.

i agree with that, it will be 7-10 days fresher than whats being sold in a supermarket and like i said it wasn't a c&r rant.
a pic of a cooked fish on a plate with some veg and baby spuds or with chips doesn't bother me or most people but a dead fish slapped onto a sink will annoy a lot of folk.

redzerologhlen · 11-09-2013 1:25pm

Hadnt been out in a few weeks so headed to the rocks for a few hours yesterday evening. Things were very slow. Managed the lad in the pic and the smallest strap conger I have ever caught, How it managed to fit the tail section of a mackerel on a 8/0 into its mouth I will never know.

God be with them when they're passing the fish counter in the supermarket.
