3rd Place Dave Lynes Undulate Ray 15lb 0oz 107% Specimen
Thanks Neal
Well done Jan, Stuie and Dave some good rays
I sent some pictures of ours undulates to Billy, he confirms non of ours have been identified before, from the 450 he now has on his system.
Neal any chance of a full list of results please
I personally believe the specimen weight for Blondes and undulates are out of balance when using the specimen fish calculator for Dorset and Devon, compared with what we are catching.
Neil will know better than I, but I bet we had a number of 100% undulates and over. Yet a nice sized blonde ray was caught on the day in the twenty pound range which did not even make the 23lb 100% specimen weight . In my opinion that fish should have one on size and what is becoming a rarity.
Just athought, I think we have had very few 23lb specimen Blondes caught this year, or years before, btw I will be happy if Iam wrong, I think specimen undulates are quite regular.
May be just for our comps we should adjust the figures on our history of fish caught.
Well done to the skippers on the day.
I shall enjoy the kudos of being the skipper of the captor of 2nd place fish
