Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Beautiful fish anyone would be proud to catch that. Do a lot of springers come in with a kype, or could it be a second time in fresh water fish? TC Edited April 18, 2016 by tiercel Quote Link to post

MIK 4,754 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Most cock fish have a bit of a Kype even the grilse ...very rare for a cock fish to survive spawning ....this fish was right of the tide you can see the sea lice on its Gill plates ....yes the fish was aloud to continue its journey 1 Quote Link to post
