probs be a eel or sommit

ya never know, might be a nice big doggie, did he check the nasal flaps ?

 

[wheres the fish?]

Doggies can easily get upwards of 4lb, i mean at the mull we have had them upwards of 6lb. The nasal flaps are what distinguish huss from doggies. If they are clearly seperated its a huss, if not its just a regular doggie.

British shore caught record for Lesser Spotted Dogfish is 4lb 15oz. Like Smoothhound they are very difficult to guesstimate the weight - I seen loads of 6lb hounds that were in reality much nearer 2-3lb in weight...

As to the OP well done to the lad who caught it, seems more and more unusual species are turning up on the NE coast.

i caught a lesser spotted pair of camel riders underpants the other day but i got to excited to take a pic !

in all seriousness why cant people just take peoples word on things unless it sounds utterly ridiculous and catching a bull huss round here doesn't
