If you dont mind me asking where were you when you caught it as it looks like Scotland but i think i might be msitaken.

A very silver pellet pig ?
Seriously though, was that out west somewhere. Did you ever find out where it came from. I heard that there were some taken from Skye and others right up around Ullapool. Was it a triploid or might there be others up there spawning now
