Two New Irish Record Fish smash existing records
It has just been confirmed by the Irish Specimen Fish Committee that Patrick Lombard, Co. Cork, who caught a Gilthead Bream of 4.37 kg at Clonakilty Bay in April 2024, has smashed the existing Gilthead Bream record by over ½ kg. Another record breaker is Dubliner Ronan Doherty, who caught a superb 38 cm Shore Rockling in Arklow on 1 February 2024. The just-published Irish Specimen Fish Committee Report also celebrates anglers fishing Irish waters who caught hundreds of huge fish in 2024.
Almost 500 exceptionally large fish of different species were caught by anglers from venues throughout Ireland in 2024. The vast majority of these fish were released again following weighing & measuring. Small shark species such as Spurdog and Tope were predominant in the saltwater, and large Skate were also present in good numbers. In freshwater, Tench and Dace featured prominently in anglers’ catches.
The 2025 ISFC Specimen Awards Day will be held on Sat 15th Feb at 2.30 pm in the Clayton Hotel Leopardstown Dublin https://www.claytonhotelleopardstown.com/
All anglers who caught a specimen fish in 2024 are invited to attend.
Please email ISFC@fisheriesireland.ie to confirm your attendance.
