NOT the one rumoured to have been caught from Shy Torque - but a mature male Porbeagle, non-the less.......
So....you thought ragworm could give your fingers a bit of a nip......Think I\'d leave the hook removal to the skipper for one of these......lol

It aint a rumour Rich has sent me some photos and they have the whole event on video. If you can go and catch a porbeagle on your first trip especially for porbeagle with very little sharking experince just think how many there must be out there. Have a feeling Rich is going to bring a new dimension to NE charter baot fishing. Well done Rich.AlanComment
