thornie record

I just dont think I could tell from a txt, so hats off skoda, think you know what your talking about son

Ive looked at google images with my phone next to the screen and i would have my money on small eye after seeing the images on there

Think im still thinking Thornie, as when I catch um, they always seem heavy for the size of them, when I see a thornie in sea angler mag and they say its 10lb, i always look at it and think thats never 10lb, but when I or anyone else catch Small eyed rays, they always look massive?

Gotta say smalleyed too, Nice fish dizzy well done,

Not many dizz lol but thats just what I thought
When I saw it but you are right I have only ever caught
2 lol and they were small eyed lol.
well done either way nice Raymond.

Well done mate, that looks like a beautyful blonde ray imho

Only messing you numpty, Its doing my head in, just had a long call with John about it, I think im losing the plot

Lol either way it's a forum all time record..... I think
Let me just check lol

Yep defo a record !

im still going with thornie and i think that old pic of you is a thornie as well. small eye tend to be rounder in shape hence why they look so impresive and tend to be lighter in colour to thornies, thornies have more of an spearhead shape to the wings more like a playing card spade shape. plus dont small eyes tend to have more lines in the patterening and thornies tend to have few lines but with more outlined spots.

Well it looked like dinner to me..........lucky fish!!!!.........

Right well best t try it then, what's the beat way
To cook it? How long do you leave it?

ok, I have looked at a lot of pics of rays, looked at all the pics of se rays that iv had over the years and I would say it is a small eyed.

id have to say small eyed

I am 100% saying small eyed now, just found an email that Paul sent me, you can see the lines on the wings, Its just hard to see as the fish just would not go flat at all:
