Hi Newt

 

Its Orca (couldnt be bothered logging Davy out and relogging back in) I knew it was a bluey as that was what we were targeting. But you better believe that I had no blinking idea of how big it was. Davy and Jim had seen it at the side of the boat and told me it as big, but I thought that they were winding me up. I had stayed well away from the side of the boat as the sea was a little rough and I seemed to have lost my sea legs so I didnt see it until the were bringing it into the boat, no wonder she took an hour to land. But this is one very happy and knackered lady ~(to put it mildly)

Very well done but where did you catch it?

[Brian Carragher]

Don't worry , I heard they drew a big X on the side of the boat so they knew where it came from

[YakDiver]

Well done,

I think we need a bigger boat

just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

[Cranfield]

Nice fish.

 

Do you tag and release them, as you do the skate ?

 

We tagged one off the west coast of Ireland a couple of years ago and six months later it was caught in tuna nets off the Azores (and released).

They cover an amazing amount of miles.

Amazing fish!
