THE LARGEST sea trout caught off the Irish coast has been landed by a Co Donegal fisherman.

 

John Cunningham, of Killybegs, hauled an 11 lbs 1 oz whopper, more than five times the average sea trout in Ireland, from the shore off the Erne estuary in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal.

Well done that man, that's a crackin' sea trout.:victory:

 

 

 

Did anyone read the last paragraph in the link?

 

 

"The sea trout is described as a “very gamey†smaller cousin of the salmon. But whereas salmon remain in fresh water once they run a river, sea trout may run in and out a number of times"

 

 

 

But whereas salmon remain in fresh water once they run a river.:wallbash: Why don't journalists stick to what they know, or do some research on a subject they know little about.:hmm::doh:

Ive seen sea trout, which may have been salmon, a good 3 ft long at a guess, More of a silvery colour and a very racey streamilne type, Ave also heard that a sea trout will stop in a freshwater if there are enough food sources.

Ive fished for over 35 years, all feshwater as well, and seen some huge fish and even a few Rainbows(from rezzys when the dam bursts.) Or fisheries.

 

Biggest ive caught was a 30 odd inch Btowny, a 5ft green/black eel.

one thing i never seen before, wished id took a pic of it now, some type of catfish Hybrib i think.

Biggest ive brought in but lost Due to a certain person would of been at least maybe 40 inches(bropwn trout)

Take into mind this is all on a very small stretch of water free flowing and very clean.
