I sent the details of my 188 speciman skate to Sea Angler and it made the Dec/Jan issue page 99. Did'nt get me badge tho' cos I forgot to send the stamps...doh! Many thanks to the skipper Dave Morton. Here's hoping 2008 sees a 200+ aboard Elsie May

Nice fish graham, will buy the mag for posterity.

Least yah could have done is waited till I got the deck painted.

Going to remove the seat pedestals to improve the picture taking room.

Jeff, I've had a 200 + ...205 to be precise, caught by Stephen from this site in the firth of lorne. It was the last fish of the day and Graham and I could not lift it aboard but we tagged it and released it. We estimated it at 180+ as it was easily the largest fish of the trip and we had had a 179.

It was caught again about 4 weeks later and accurately measured which is how we know the weight. Not a bad fish when you consider the record is 221, but that is a figure that has been beaten several times but not claimed. Hopefully no one would ever dream of trying to claim a new record until the rules are changed to take into account catch and release.

Cheers
Dave.
