After a couple of hours of fishin the base, where we pulled in a few flattys (nowt special) we managed to get off the end. A number a huge knocks and what felt to be a decent weight when retrieving then about 80 yrds out we were gettin snagged and losing the lot. Managed to pull this little fella in, not sure what he is though, my m8 reckons it was a red pollock... any ideas?

Nowt special 1lb, 1 1/2lb tops... chucked him back put he floated for a while, not sure if he kicked off or not before the gullys started swoopin!

am sure the tree huggers will villify me for saying this but it's "only" a scotchie and went back into the food chain so no harm done

1lb my arse... looks more like half a pound to me

Haha only joking mate... Well done on catching!

I had one from cullercoats, beautiful colours but apparently very bony?

Judging my the tiles I'd this one is about 7oz - around half a pound
