I've seen three different photos of people playing it perhaps they all had a go and why not . Looking at the photos the fish is probably dead no hose in its mouth to help keep it alive and keep its body temperature down and no photos of the release ??? And as for the weight you need the length and the girth to calculate . Same fish different angler the fish looking rather dead -
Does he get the smelt to chase the popper!!!

Rolled up at 5-30 Thursday morning ready for a long day . We had decided to fish the subs to the east , 40 miles plus but the weather is great . We stopped to fish a large bank at 38 miles as we would get the last hour of the ebb . We were plagued with bull Huss which tope were following up to the surface . When we first spotted them I thought they were small sharks in the 60-70 lb mark but no they were tope . The biggest we landed was 35lb whilst suffering plenty of bite offs . As soon as the tide tuned we headed off for the first sub 5 miles away and when we arrived we were straight into pollock , well the two other lads were I never had a fish for six drifts but they were in every time but that's fishing . Picture of sub on sounder . We tried other subs but only had two or three fish on the first drift then nothing weird . We decided to go back and anchor the first wreck to see if we could pull a ling out . On arriving one quick drift to get tide and direction , as the tide was only 1.8 knots I decided to anchor straight away . Well that was a life changing moment steamed well up tide and dropped the anchor straight into the wreck , well I thought I saw 1.8 knots not like the 2.8 that was showing on the analogue . Not such a good start to our anchoring with the thought of cutting off £300 worth of end tackle at the end of the tide . The fishing was good throughout the tide with bullhuss to 13+ cuckoo wrass , congers , tope and pout . Coming up too slack water I winched the rope up tight , straight up and down so it wouldn't wrap in the wreck which might give me a chance of recovering my mess . About 10 minuets into the flood we were drifting , the anchor had just freed itself from the wreck and it was happy days , pull it in quick and let's go home while our luck is in . It was a fantastic ride home with flat seas and a glorious sunset to boot . Best bullhuss 13-9

Spoke to my contact in Falmouth this evening they hooked up for 2.5 hrs today then the braid parted 10mtr from the boat . He said watching 40-50 huge blue fins smashing up the mackerel shoal is just an amazing sight.
