Brothers in angling Ian and Richard Curry were back on the water over the weekend and they had a fish of a lifetime. Once again the pair were fishing for tope and this time they were fishing a little further south than last time, off Cooley Point and they had a fish that was bigger than anything they had encountered before…
We caught a serious tope at the weekend. Bigger than anything my dad had ever seen in his years of fishing and definitely our biggest of the year.
She was 72″ long and 29″ girth. Released fit, well and unharmed.
Based on these measurements the tope is estimated to weigh 71lb. This fish wins our Catch of the Week
