Hello Tobias
Thanks for the welcome, great day when I caught that fish. Typically it was an off the cuff day of a singles trip booked with a skipper I have never fished before with.
First drop 2 minutes into a drift and bang it hit me 18.4lb, I was using Mackerel fillet on a 6/0 fine wire hook and a basic running ledger. I just posted a video showing
how I fillet and hook the Mackerel and does it work or what. Next drift a 10.6lb turbot, 3 drifts later an 11.2lb fish all in the first hour and there where others on the
boat too.
Then it went dead so after another hour of no fish we moved to the muscle beds and got into plaice between 2 and 5 lbs so all in all a great day back in April 2011 and
the sun shone and I even came home with a glow on my face oh and a silly look of Didn't I do Well !! nearly 30lb of filleted and portioned fish ready for the freezer.
Still eating portions now as I vacuum pack the fish same day and that keeps them really fresh when defrosted. As to cooking it I use all sorts of recipes and will add
yours. The fin muscle I cut up into small bite size pieces, marinated them in sherry, ginger and chilli flakes for about three hours. Floured them, into egg wash and then
double dipped in home made chunky bread crumbs, into the deep frier for 3/4 minutes at 165c and served with a side salad and tartar sauce Yum F*****G Yum !!!
I got told I was a Moron frying fin muscle as it's a sushi dish and expensive too but Hey my fish and I eat it how I liked it...LOL

Hello Mark be good to see you at the tackle store sometime more kit to catch those Cod perhaps ! plenty of posts from me when time permits. I have some video work to do for boat skippers planned so that should generate some good viewing in the near future.

BTW if you get to the store at any time let me know what you think of the product review movies. There are plenty more planned and feedback from a potential customer will be good.
