Sth Shields pier halibut?

[Charlton]

a lad called Ian caught a 3lb 9oz halibut of the pier, does anyone know where it was weighed and verified, as if it is a halibut it is the first I have recorded taken from the shore. Any info would be appreciated.

Whats cod, thats something that is in the history book next to T-Rex and Dodo aint it

it was a turbot

seemingly there was a hallibut caught at the 1st gate last year,but i would have said just a dark flounder

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

It's easy to tell the diferrence between a Halibut and a Turbot

A Halibut is a company owned by one of George Bushes mates

Turbots make cars go faster

And just to clear up any further argument

Plaice are where you are / is

Sole live on the bottom of your feet or somewhere between your heart and your brain

Flattys make you late for work or eligble for a breast augmentation on the NHS

Flounders is a bat and ball game for girls that smell of fish

QED - my time is done :red:

well I should have known, it was my mate Ian Ingleson, he is no stranger to big flat fish either, his best plaice is 4lb 6oz, what a belter that was, taken in the Newbiggin open way back in 1998.

And ?

 

[black bob]

it was weighed and verified by members of westoe angling club. and seen by20+anglers on pier last sunday. the lads name is Ian ingleson and comes from Stanley

 

[Topfly]

So was it a Halibut and is it some sort of record ?

 

[codseeker]

no one seems to be sure of this do they and like alan would of had pic up in a flash

 

[Charlton]

it is the only halibut I have recorded for the North East coast taken from the shore, hopefully photo in Journal tomorrow, if not will post one, still working on it.

 

[sless]

the westoe club might have just knitted it

 

[Charlton]

think there is no doubt it is a Halibut

 

[Topfly]

Well done Ian, I wonder how it found it's way to our shores' probs just developed from the plankton and dropped to the sea bed, or maybe a discard coming back into port. no disrespect, well done again

Cracking fish, sure Steve Taarland had a smaller one two years ago from the same pier, unless someone was winding me up.
