You\'ll have to be quick to see it, as the next \"North Est Tonight\" is on at 6:00pm today and last nights program will disapear.

Very good TC!

Saw a mobile phone picture of it last night. Huge fish caught by Peter Dent in his salmon nets. Swordfish do turn up from time to time of this coast. I watched them landing these fish at a market in Spain last year.
Seems to be the same species that they get in the med.

could well be some photographs i took of the fish with Peter Dent and his kids in the journal tomorrow.
