4.7lb mackerel???????

Cheap beachcasters with daylights and a 4oz lead only time of the year they fish. Worst type of anglers enjoying possibly the best sport makes you sick:mad:
 
Monster Maccy

Monster Maccy

While fishing yesterday evening a lad from Gateshead was havin a bit of a struggle getting round the gates on s/s pier so give him a bit of a hand,asked why He was so paggered out so he opened his box up and well bugger me that Mackeral was huge and yes I picked it up anything seaham can do etc.So for first shot in 5 years 1 dab 2 flounder no plaice,but nice craic with the old couple he had 2 plaice to 21/2 and a 31/2 cod.The chineese must love Mackeral as they took about 2 cwt in bin bags and annoying to see kids leaving bags of fish by the gate c'ant be bothered to carry them home.

Haha, and they always have lager, even at 9am. :o I aint disputing the weight of the fish lads, I thought it hard to believe but then again look the Seaham mackerel, the lad seen it weighed but as you know scales can sometimes be deceiving. Still at 62cm its a cracker, Davey/Blanked Again pulled in 43cm one last year was a good 2lb.

He mentioned the state of the pier looking like a bloody war had happened, it wasn't like that earlier on, on maybe I was wearing blinkers. Had 1 fella walking around asking for some line, I'll buy it off ya, should thought of that before going fishing mate. :rolleyes:

Its disgraceful the language on the end aswell sometimes, cnut this and that when there are couples and families walking by.

And that is why all my fish were gutted in a bucket of seawater, before it being taken down the steps and poured over the side, no mess, no fuss :thumbup:

Verification

Verification

Just read my Sunday Sun fishing Blog by Mr Charlton as usual getting gear ready for a t-time shot on marsden beach,noted that the Mackeral pictured was a different shape/profile to the one caught friday s/s pier. I advised ney asked the lad from Gateshead to get the fish verified at a fishing shop as being aware of tales of fantasy among us fishing folk,hope he has. It was akin to a albacore in being more rounded/oval/fat and as an engineer by profession a fair judge of measuring things it will be the biggest Maccy I'll see in my lifetime.

Much ado about nothing IMHO Alan, looking at the photo I think the kids have seen the tape upside down and seen 61+cm rather than 19inches, put 2+2 together and made 10.

Seen the seaham club lot having a bit of spiteful debate over it on facebook, bit cringeworthy for grown men tbh, its not as big as mine lol. :o :D

cheers Pete
the mind boggles at times
 
I was on the pier yesterday. Plenty of large mackerel being caught

Mine were around the 40cm Mark and 2poundish
Think 4 is a bit hopeful the scale with the built in tapemeasure doesn't look like it will be that accuarate

this weighed 3lb 4oz and was weighed on very exspensive digital scales

i really cant see that fish being 4 and half pound
 
im in the same boat as triton it deff was the biggest mackie ive ever saw to say 4.7lb im not sure but would deff pushed the 4lb mark without a shadow of a doubt ,just a shame it seems the lads not here to verify it
