Re: flattie

Hate to put a spanner in the works chaps but it might be a BRILL,Although the BRILL is a little darker normally.

Re: flattie

or it could be a brill

i think it is a turbot tho because a brill dont tend to be pointy at the side of their bodys, they are like flounder and are rounder.

Re: flattie

Looking at the size of the hook it must have been damn hungry.

Re: flattie

I think that it is a small turbot. The colour and the description of the knobs all over the body sway me to the decision.

Well done anyway, its nice to see one being caught
