Where was it caught from? If there are more of the same size or bigger, I'm on my way 'Nfld' is only a 4 -5 hour flight from Heathrow, just a bit further than cyprus is!

"Sagey", It was caught from shore in a "tidal" pond called Harrys' Pond in the community of Salmon Cove Carbonear, Conception Bay, NFLD / Nl. Some further specs == Length=107 cm.( 42ins. )

9 ins. "deep"

5 ins. across the back

Scale samp==12 yrs. old

This one was taken the week previous and weighed in at 22 lbs. unable to gather further details



The "BIG" one was caught on what we "locals" refer to as "The Nail", a home made lure made from ....a nail common or galvanized with a trebble at one end and a swivel at the other . usually finished in "red" nail polish ...(allthough these past cuppla' years a "PINK" version has proven to be MORE effective )

Still stickin'........ Avalon/ Andrew

The rock, the place where they drink Screech and kiss a cod and listen to the Fables and eat flipper seal pies?

Yes by' an' also "Big Dipper" rum, Black Horse beer and "toutins" f'er brekkies

Sounds as if ye may have been inducted as an honorary member there Gunny...certainly appear to have a sense of familiarity w'if the place and lets not f'erget the Irish Descendants by'
