Caught my best fish ever

[Pompey Matt]

Thanks Bryan, I was certainly chuffed with it.

 

stavey - no this was taken for the table and will be eaten either today or tomorrow.

Nice fish, don't let anyone try and make you feel guilty about keeping a fish for the table. Bass make superb eating and I have some good recipe's if you are bored with simple grilled or fried - PM if interested.

 

This one was 5.5lbs, thin for the length of fish if that's any guide for yours. But not beach caught - yours is much more of an achievement than mine!

didi,

 

It was caught infront of the old MOD radar station at Eastney.

Nice bass. I would say 5-6lb given the length. 10lb is wishful thinking. Still well done and good fish.

Nice one! looks exactly the same size as my 5 pounder. Never 9 lb.

Well done.

Yeah but as already stated in this thread, it's difficult to tell from a picture. Having held it and with others there also giving their estimation I am happy with what I feel the size of it was.

Nice healthy fish but much nearer 5lb than 10lb.

[Davie the Huss]

Maybe not just as healthy now jabee!

 

Wouldn't get too hung up about the weight it's a cracking fish, you enjoyed cathing it and nothing else really matters.

 

Well done mate.
