She took a cut salmon bait in the channel just out from Cowes pier. As for a record who knows what she really weighed as the scales only went to 25kgs. No flake from her ...after that pic was taken she was released.

Very nice ghost there, not bad for a first one! Gawaine and the boys are doint well on the subs, not suprising though with the hours of effort they've put in.
