Richard Farrow, from Omagh, sent us in this report of his first ever tope!
Richard was fishing from a boat in Lough Swilly on Sunday, August 24th, in pretty good conditions for fishing. He was using mackerel fillet for bait and got a good run as the tide picked up.

It was a lively fish that didn’t stop fighting even after it was brought aboard the boat for unhooking! After a quick photo, the tope was released and swam away strongly.
