Feel like a fraud posting here as I'm at best a casual fisher, but I dragged this pretty wee fella up today (and delivered him safely back). Question is, what is he?

[Giles]

Shore Rockling….

@Clint_D:

Landed the ship's record last night!  Caught a 187.5 lb Bigeye tuna:

Damn! :o Congratulations Clint!

@neph93 I think it's a "Cuckoo wrasse". Funny name in english haha, called "blågylta" in swedish. A female at that, the males are usually blue.

Called a tangwrasse in Norwegian I've now discovered. I'm staying on the south west coast, not far from Ålesund, and they're new to me. They don't do well further north.

I thought it was a Shore Rockling, but actually, it is what we (in more civilised countries) call a Cuckoo Wrasse:

[neph93]

I looked up Rocklings and concluded that mine must have been a Nordic Rockling and that wrasse was a Scandi name, but OK. Tang means seaweed in Norwegian. Interestingly mine was 30cm so a relatively large specimen. I'm planning on some late fishing in an hour or two if the kids stay asleep…

Spot of rain so I'm wussing out of night fishing. Here are some Chups instead.

Couple of weeks back…..75lbs

Not a shark, but a decent bass. Caught a crayfish first to use as bait.

[neph93]

Bass is tasty [emoji39] Nice catch!

Tiddler caught in Welsh waters.

Fark! Quite a fish. That's about the size of the monster halibut you get up my way.

Decent size Perch during a local competition. I'll never be able to move from Malmö, amazing fishing 10 min from my door by bike is too good.

Sheeps Head and a Snook.
