hi jimmy had ian on the phone lastnite he was telling me about the fish i bet you,s were gutted so close but so far he had another 1 on a few years back off the blocks at range on his bb got it in looked over and was guestimated at 18lb or more stainsy tried lifting it and that was it off as nobody was going down to get it thats the joys of fishing the pier.
