Hi Alan, just out of interest I looked up the qualifying weight for the Shimano Mission target in Sea Angler, convinced the young lad would qualify. It happened to be the Feb/Mar issue from earlier this year (the one with Stevie Williams & a flounder on the cover) and it turns out the target for "north" happens to be 5lb

- However on p. 63 it just happens to list a shore caught ling from Dunstanburgh Castle of 7lb 2oz by Steven Hall from Easington (does seem to ring a bell with me that one).
Nevertheless I think 4 - 15 is a cracking fish for the young lad & I'm sure he'll do well in the young rods section if he sends in details, especially if he's got a picture. Definitely think it's worthy of recognition.
Cheers, Gary
