Newboy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Beautiful fish, what sort of wrasse is it? Quote
Bob F Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Ballan Wrasse. No other wrasse grow that big in our waters. BF Quote
Afishionado Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Ballan Wrasse. No other wrasse grow that big in our waters. BF As opposed to the Berludy Wrasse which is the 4" version that strips your hook of your last peeler crap @ 50p a pop. Another close relative is the Soddin Wrasse which are able to tie a triple Palomar around a WW2 contact mine with your Quote
Newboy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I thought ballan are a little bluer and darker in colour?! Quote
Paul D Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Posted May 20, 2005 I think it is that colour due to the depth it was living at ( down in the depths of a wreck ). ? Quote
Bob F Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Mike, you're a blast!! Kam, Ballan's have many different markings and colours, depending on their location and mood. BF Quote
Swainiac Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 ...............Just like women Bob!! Rich Quote
boybilly Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 What a cracking fish Tom, especially early season mate. Could be a British record by end of season. They are very territorial so it may stay in the same place. You are dead right about the colouring Bob, depends on all sorts of things as well as where they are living; kelp, rock, mixed ground etc. Well done again Tom. The BB,s Quote
