Sadly lost the details of this capture but a massive wrasse for Dan here. Look at the girth on it! Possibly the boat record by weight. Lure-caught of course.
Days don’t get better than these. Wrasse fishing with mates, in the Spring sunshine, catching beautiful, specimen Ballan Wrasse, and letting them go again.
An absolute privilege to fish with my friend, Masaaki Fukuoka (Masa) visiting the UK from Japan. Masa is a true rockfisherman and I always learn something when I fish with him. So glad to put Masa on some decent fish.
