Cracking fish, but can someone please check my maths for me.....

"His catch, which measured 90cm in length and weighed in at 11.4kg (25.1 lb), is the biggest trout caught in Ireland in more than 100 years, the Central Fisheries Board confirmed yesterday.
The catch was also only a few ounces short of the record set in 1984"

I know I left school many years ago, but even with my counting, that only makes 26 years :confused: :confused:

Biggest Irish fish versus UK record?

Refreshing to see an Eastern euopean angler returning a fish, especially a special one like this. It wouldn't survive over here as it would be on the barbeque within minutes of being caught!
