I need your help, me and my husband went fishing in Plymouth Sound,as soon as he cast the rod in he caught some thing. It was bright orange with a light purple line around its body,it was about 2 foot long and had a continueous fin all around it!!!!!!
I have a pic but cant up load it on here for some reason.....
We would really like to know what it was,so if you can help leave your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Many Thanks, Nicky & Ian.

Without seeing a picture I would guess at a red band fish

It does sound like a redband fish quite rare but if caught it does tend to be around the Sout West and very occasionally in the Bristol Channel. A quick description would be a red/orange fish occasionally with a darker line running throughout its body with the body of an eel generally with a blue tongue, head simmilar to that of a pout.
