Aye that's a rare catch indeed but I'm wondering why you tried to gaff it and fetch it aboard

Great to see, not suprised it was going mad with a gaff in it mind, mouth i hope....great to see them not yet seen one close up.

I've seen a couple over the years on North shields fish quay. Ferocious looking fish.
