The Dayglow Fish

 

This fish was caught off the rocks at the Lighthouse. The angler who caught it was never very successful, whereas his friend who accompanied him was. After a reasonable struggle the fish was landed and having been expecting a large pollock or something similar the two men just fell about laughing. What a strange fish! When this guy catches a fish he certainly catches a"fish". These fish are often caught in the creels by the local fishermen, but it is rare to catch them off the rocks.
