Yep, remember seeing it in the window, was in my mid teens at the time. Didn't look particularly appetising though.

if I remeber right, he didn't have to pay a lot for it because of it's condition, and he donated it to an old folks home.

Jeez, my fish-bag would be a mere nose-bag to a thing like that! Wouldn't fancy lugging one of those off the end of the Emblestones!!

Sorry its not the best quality Jonny, I knew I had the press cutting somewhere though. It was caught in 87, not the late 70's though - is this the same fish? It weighed 100lb and was caught 5 miles off Blyth.

F**k me!!!!!!
