Thanks all for comments, it was only the 2 fish which was bad for 5 days worth of fishing. Wouldnt go again as didnt really enjoy catching them but happy to now say been there and done it.
Caught on pellet and squid using uptide gear, 200lb braid, 6/0 hook, 16oz leads etc.
That isnt a hook wound on smaller fish, most had nasty marks all over them from spawning weeks ago. Oh and im 6' 4" 15 stone to give to a scale. Cheers
