Adam F Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 It was a target of mine to beat the 10lb 8oz Small Eyed record this year....I did it on my 1st proper session! 11lb!....should have gone bigger as massive frame, but still skinny as early season. Then I hear that we have merged the Painted and Small Eyed...no longer stands! Still Ill have to catch a bigger one! Quote
Bob F Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Adam, Just checked the fish database. The painted and small-eyed are the same species, Raja microcellata. Different common names for the same species. Bob F. Quote
great white Posted May 28, 2004 Report Posted May 28, 2004 Bob /Adam that is why the record is now higher for the small eyed/Painted Ray. The old Small Eyed holder did not mind [Me ], records are there to be broken by better fish. Its nice to have good fish holding our records just makes them harder to beat. I am sure having to try harder will not put you off Adam Tight lines Charlie Quote
