Dougy Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Tiddler, doesn't look big enough to fill a fish finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It and two others were caught by the same chap who put them back thinking that as they were bass they were undersize - hence my confusion - it was a fortnight or so ago and I was only emailed the 'evidence' today.

Dougy Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 It doesnt look that big from the picture, checking i see the min size is 300mm, must admit they are nice freshly caught. I remember fishing in Donegal bay years ago, not being too good on sea fish i hooked what i thought was a small Cod, the skipper just about dived on me in case i lost it, it was a 3.5 - 4lb Pouting I had no idea how close it was to a record.

chrisjpainter Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) A pollock's colour can change quite radically depending on where it is living, whether it's a wreck, rock or deep kelp. Easy ID feature though is the single kinked lateral line just beyond where the pectoral fin ends Edited June 18, 2022 by chrisjpainter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
