0 snatcher Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I was fair goosed !!!! Previous to the big one had two 100lb plus fish just before that. It was like pumping iron in the gym for about 3 hours non stop. Quite an effort at my age. Here are the two smaller ones http:// http:// John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Yes I did Frank That big fish weighed 182 lbs.-13 stone in old money. Over the years a lot of skate have been weighed and measured so there is a large weigh/size database. All of this information has been put into a conversion chart for anglers to use without having to stress/hurt the fish by weighing them. All anglers have to do is record the lenght and breadth of their fish and look up its weight on the conversion chart. Here is the current record fish. http://www.anglingtimes.co.uk/fishing-news/2013/British-record-skate-banked-at-235lb John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
