Best session ever RECORD BREAKING BULL HUSS BIG RAY Sea Fishing Isle of Wight UK 

Thanks mate, I was really chuffed, more so afterwards when I realised how big it was. I was still buzzing from getting my first ray😎🎣👍👍

Cheers dude. Time to dust off those rods mate, get out there, there is fish in these ere waters😉👍

Thanks buddy very kind of you. I was so chuffed, but also in shock I think. I didn't really comprehend how good a fish that huss was. It is a special place for sure👍👍

Thanks Kevin, really appreciate that bud👍👍

Cheers Martin mate, it was a great session, pretty special place, looking forward to fishing with you again mate👍👍

Thanks Mick, finally got something to shout about. Had to happen at some point 😂👍

Thank you, I was so happy. I'm not sure it will, but you never know. We all know though, might get a t-shirt printed, maybe a piece in the county press 😂😂

Thanks is buddy, glad you are enjoying. Got me in the record books that one. The old record was from the 60's, so I'm hoping I'll be able to show the grand kids that one👍🎣🎣

Cheers dude, I've been meaning to try there for ages, and then when you mentioned it, I thought, that's it, I'm going. So thank you🙏. Have to get yourself down there at some point. It's stunning👍👍👍

Thanks Dave buddy, much appreciated 👍🙏

I finally did buddy, it's stunning there. Totally different scenery to anywhere I've ever been. It's like going back in time. Thanks mate 👍👍

Thanks buddy. The hours have finally paid off. Right place right time, but I'll take it for sure👍👍

Thank mate, it's a great place to fish, bit of effort though, but for that session definitely worth it👍👍

Really appreciate that mate, let's hope so, thanks buddy 👍🙏

goes to show doesnt it loz,time put in=reward

You did mate, on the last video your comment was pbs are coming. Thanks buddy. Can't wait to try and get out with the gang again. Warm up for Solent wars. 👍👍👍

Thanks Gareth, it was a dream session, definitely one to remember. You end up questioning if it will ever happen, and it finally did. Was so happy. Take care mate👍👍🙏

Thank you, it did stand. It's not been updated online yet, but I had confirmation that it would stand. I had my scales checked, and because I had the footage, and a witness, I'll now have the record. Super happy. Thanks for the support 👍👍

Cheers Ian, what a buzz. I reckon I'll always be dangler😉😉👍🙏

Thanks Pete. It's been a while coming, and it will probably be a while again, so I'll enjoy it while I can. Thanks again buddy 👍👍

lol, yes mate definitely buzzing, hard to beat that I reckon👍👍

Thanks mate. It's official now. All in the record books, 14.1. hopefully it will stand for another 50odd years☺️👍👍🎣🎣

Thanks jay dude. So happy to get something on film for everyone. It's been a long time coming, but finally got something good, whoop👍👍🙏

Hey mate, thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the uploads buddy. I upload everything, so there isn't always fish, but I hope the content is still entertaining. They were my two best fish by a long way, and to get both in one session, I felt very privileged. Going to be hard to beat for sure. I'm hoping I might get the record, at the moment I have to drop in my scales to check for calibration, so we will wait and see. Cheers mate👍👍

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it buddy. My best fish by a long way, the ray was my biggest fish ever, then smashed it with that huss. Was so buzzing👍👍

Thanks mate, everyone has been so positive, it's been great. Was so chuffed mate👍👍

And you will mate. Was really good to have a chat. Gave me some confidence at the start of the session for sure. Well done you too mate on that blue skate. Super rare, and first for the island. Congrats buddy👍👍🙏

Hi there, thank you, that would be interesting to see. Most people use the Portsmouth one. The records are all online on the West wight angling clubs website. It hasn't been updated yet with mine. The bullhuss from shore was held since 1960 something, I'll have a look again now. 🤔😊😊🎣🎣🎣

That's good to know, I bet you guys get some big old guas there, this one was really big for here, new island record in the books, boom😉👍👍

Cheers buddy, was crazy to get two good fish in one night. Be hard to beat I reckon 👍👍

Awesome words buddy, thank you👍🙏

Cheers Dave, was totally made up with it. Had no idea at the time how good a fish it was. Right old lump👍👍

Cheers mate. Pretty hammy to get them on one night, gonna take some beating I reckon, but we'll keep trying 👍👍

Thanks buddy, best fish to date by a mile👍👍

Thanks buddy, 👍👍

Thanks Steve, gonna be hard to top that I think. I won't stop trying though👍

Ah mate, it's probably the same fish. goes to show they are out there. I've never had any luck at atherfield. I should give it another go soon. I always seem to lose so much gear down there👍👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors if it was, it must be pretty annoyed. I use google earth to identify the clear patches ;)

Cheers buddy, was well happy with it👍

Martin bud, that huss was a brute. I've never seen anything like it. It's head was pure muscle. Shame the torch didn't pick up the teeth. They were massive👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors my pb is 1lb and change,you knocked that out of the park,good luck with the IOW record too,we all can see that it beats the old one!

Really appreciate that mate thank you👍👍

Thanks buddy, I got the record too, so was a win win. Good for the promotion of catch and release👍👍🎣

Thanks so much mate, and thanks for drinking with me. It's credit to you guys really. I try to take it all in, but sometimes I forget, or pick up bad habits. Helps being in the right place at the right time too😂😂. So happy. Not really that fussed about the record. Would be nice obviously, just so happy to get into a couple of good fish. Take care buddy 👍👍🙏

Cheers Martin mate, really appreciate that. Had to happen eventually, just never expected it to be so good👍😊

Really appreciate that buddy, thank you, 👍👍

Whoop. Good couple of fish there man. Was so stoked. Right place right time, but I'll take it😄👍👍

Cheers Dan, yeah I'll remember that one for sure. I didn't realise how good it was at the time. But unless I'm going to eat it, I won't be taking a fish just to weigh it. 👍👍

Hey man, Well you were bang on, first visit, best fish I've had, I know it won't always be like that, its so wild down there. thanks buddy👍👍

Thanks buddy, we got there in the end. Looking forward to trying for some different species now. Can tick that one off my target for the year👍👍

Thanks mate, totally agree with you there buddy, to be fair, I think have have changed the rules in the last few years, but it is still hard to do a catch and release for a record. It's mainly to do with the scales. If I had the salter ones, and they were calibrated by the club, I think it would be fine, I thinks it's the scales that are the sticking point, we'll see how it goes. Hope you enjoy your visit mate👍👍🙏

Thanks RJ, what an amazing venue, super happy to get it all on camera👍👍👍

Hey mate, hope you enjoyed the upload. It was truly a brute of a fish, massive head on it. Thanks for watching buddy👍👍👍

Andrew buddy, always next time😂😂, this was one of my best sessions and I got the isle of wight record for a bullhuss. You're saying it like I blanked 😂😂😉👍🎣🎣

Cheers buddy. First double mate, so over the moon👍👍

Thanks David, and a lot of it is credit to you guys to be honest. All the hints and tips. We got into a couple of good fish, bit of luck in sure. Glad you enjoyed👍👍🙏

Thanks buddy, really appreciate it. Been a while coming, more luck than judgement, but I'll take it👍👍

Thanks Graham, that's it mate. It's not that important to be honest. Just a privilege to get it👍👍

Thanks mate, it's funny when I look back at that video, I had no idea how good a fish it was, and Shaun at wight angling was great, he pushed for the record to stand, so big ups to him on that👍🎣🎣

@@FrugalOutdoors Shaun’s really good with things like that mate 👊🏻 good on him. Tough fish to beat as well so I reckon you’ll have that for a long time.

We'll see how it goes, I've offered my scales up so they can check the calibration, just super happy to get them. I think it'll be a while til I beat the Ray, and I'm pretty sure I'll never get a better huss, I just wish I knew how good it was at the time. The old record has been held since 1965😳

Thanks mate. Yeah definitely hard to beat that one. It's a great venue for sure. Wonder how busy it will be tonight 😉👍👍

Thanks kev, you were right mate, and no wonder that's your favourite beach. It's amazing down there. I would say you definitely need to have your wits about you. I think a bigger tide and swell would be super scary. I hope you're doing ok buddy👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors All good thanks. Plenty of horror stories of people having their gear washed away !!

Hi Tony, thanks mate. That's very kind of you, and thanks very much for the info. It is an amazing spot to fish. I will definitely be going back, but also i don't want to over fish the same venue. Will probably leave it for a bit, maybe head there again next month. Thats for you support mate👍👍🙏

That's it mate, if it does great, if not it's ok. I know it was a fish of a life time, probably not to beaten by myself again, but hopefully it's out there for someone else. Thanks buddy👍👍

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 👍👍

Thanks Derek buddy. I was totally naive about how big it was to be honest. At the time I was still on a high from getting the ray, so was all a bit much I think😂👍👍

Cheers Alan, this year is like to get a good hound over 8lb, and a bass over 6. Might be too much, but going to try anyway 👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors go for it, I’ve been out fresh water fishing this week and had a very nice brace of carp at 18 & 24lb my new iow pb 🎣🎣🎣 tight lines

Ah cool man, hope that are all good👍👍

Let's hope so buddy. Would be a huge privilege to get my name in the record books👍👍

I know mate, I was gutted when I saw the torch was too bright. At least I know for future though, and getting some good pics. Cheers dude👍👍🙏

Thanks mate, was so chuffed to finally get a Ray. How did you get on the other day on the Mullet 👍

@@FrugalOutdoors no good on the mullet but I did see a few but they were not interested in the bait .

Thanks mate, I think the steps washed away quite a while ago. It's my first visit there. I've looked before, but bottled it. Apparently there was a bit of a fall there the other day, so I'm not sure what access is like now 👍👍

Hey buddy, yeah it's more to do with the scales. I've offered mine up, so they can check for calibration. That's what they do for national records. We'll see. Be awesome if I can get it though. Be something to tell the grandkids 😂😂👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors indeed mate be nice to beat a record that has stood for 57 yrs ay.

Hey buddy, my first ray that night, and then followed it up with that huge huss. I did get the island record, by around two pounds. I think it was held since 1968 or something like that. A while anyway that's for sure 😀👍🎣🎣

@@FrugalOutdoors Well done chap….That’s brilliant 👏❤️🎣

Ah cool man, thanks for stopping by, appreciate it buddy👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors no problem bud glad to have u bk dont know how that happend like but its rectified now appy dayz

Hi buddy, there had been some good fishing in sandown area. Few mackerel showing from the pier, which does have a fee to fish I think. I've never fished it to be honest. Popped out on the kayak today from yaverland, picked up a few bream. I think it's notorious for rays around that way. Sorry I can't be of more help. I tend to fish west of the island👍👍

It felt similar the way it came in. The ray felt way heavier, but the Huss, was giving some good head shakes. Not as much as that conger I had. It's interesting how they all feel different, and I have no idea what each one is😂😂😂

Thanks mate, and totally agree with you there. It's shocking really, fish all night, then take your fish to the scales at the end of the night, in a different location. Really doesn't make sense to me at all. 👍👍

Thanks buddy. It's a stunning place to fish. It's hard work up and down, no doubt about it, but it's a wild place. Good work on a blonde ray, I know a few people who've been fishing for a while and not had one. There is a rope, I wouldn't put all my weight on it though. But there is a rope 😂😂

Thank you, parking is easy at whale chine, but access is difficult. There is rope etc to aid getting down, but it's far worse this year than when I filmed that session. Traveling light is a must, and preferably go with someone else. it's super sketchy and one slip is a trip to a and e at best👍👍🎣🎣

Thanks for advice tight lines can't wait for next video 🎣

I don't, but I can imagine, it was a real lump. I spoke to someone the other day, and he said he could tell in the video, I didn't realise how good a fish it was. Definitely got lucky that day👍👍

Thanks buddy, yeah fortunately with all the footage and evidence with a witness etc, they accepted it,so now I have the island record🎉🎉👍🎣🎣

@@FrugalOutdoors thats brilliant ,made up for you 👏 👍 😀

Indeed you have😉thank you and peace to you my friend, salaam🙏

Hey buddy, looks like you accidentally put caps lock on there mate. Not exactly sure what you are getting at, but the fish was out for minimal time and was in a large bucket of water to revive before putting back. I always try to do the best for the fish, unless I'm taking it for food, and then ill dispatch it as humanely as possible. Not leave it flapping around on the beach. Thanks for the comment👍👍

@@FrugalOutdoors to many bfish starved of oxygen i know roughly when im begining to faint due to holding my breath a fish gasping that long surely some swim off with Brain Damage.

@@FrugalOutdoors your posts are super cool I enjoy your content was educating myself also. I wonder what the time limit is before brain damage?

@@eddieblack3058 I completely understand what you are saying. Also I know that showing the fish to the camera is prolonging it's time out if the water. I don't know for certain, but I have been lead to believe that rays and spotted Dogfish can be out of the water some time. I know some comps, will only weigh in at the end of the night after fishing for some ours. I don't agree or condone that practice. I do try my up most to give the fish that I put back the greatest respect. As I've said before I do eat dog fish, bass, bream, pouting and whiting. Also crabs that we forage, but I want to say, and I have done only once before. I and my family don't eat meat. We are predominantly vegetarians. Unless I catch fish. I do hope this will maybe see where I am with the preservation of fishing. I fish to eat. But admittedly I have targeted fish solely based on the fact I haven't had one before. I get that that could be perceived as not cool, and it is something I think about. Please be assured I do respect the fish 👍

I'm not the biggest caster at all. I maybe was getting 80ish yards in this video, but now I reckon 100 to 120, with different rods. Or did you bad, in which case, quite bad😂😂👍🎣🎣

Thanks for watching 👍👍
