Cracking looking fish there. 8 or 9lb's. Just a wild guess.

Very well done

Thanks for the comments.

How good is it catching Salmon!!!??? Lets see yours Chickenfish...

I caught it on the North Tyne near Bellingham, it took a small treble dressed in red and green fished on a shooting head with sinking tip, no idea what the fly was called and neither did the kind couple who helped me land it. I left it stuck in a tree next to where I parked the car as well so I'll never know!!

What if I said that the scales stopped at 14lb and clearly maxed out!? We measured the fish and I remember it being 36 inches, although my photo shows otherwise at 35! I think his hand moved before the photo

I love the Tyne!
