Starting a record fish list here for PlanetSeaFishing users.

The fish don’t have to be caught in UK or Irish waters ie it’s open to all.

No formal forms, just need the following information accompanied by a decent photo for ID purposes (if the fish is weighed in a comp not photo required) -

Species Name, Angler’s Name, Weight, Where caught, if from a boat add name of boat, Date of Capture.

Skate, tope and sharks can be estimated weights from charts.

There will be sections for shore, boat and kayak.

For those species hunters out there, you can download a species list here - http://www.planetseafishing.com/downloads/species-list.pdf

Mostly UK and Ireland fish in list but happy to add more from other countries if there’s a demand.

If this proves popular we will organise prizes for the best in each category. Would be interested to know if we should look at running this Jan - Dec? Would welcome suggestions on the criteria we might use to identify the best in each category.

Wonder how long it will take the opposition to poorly plagerise this initiative????

Coming to get ya

dave…

why metric??

doesn’t sit right with anyone over 21…..

Maybe we can build in a quick click auto converter and have weights in both metric and imperial? We will look into it.

Because we’ve been metric for year yah old fart

Kids dont understand pounds and ounces and they outlast us in the magazine!!

i still buy my mint imperials by the 1/4lb you young whippersnapper

anyway, how many “kids” is there under 21 on here??

and why isn’t my 15lb 3oz spurdog in there??

I’ll vote for imperial! I can picture a 15lb fish but 7Kg?????????
