HORSE rankin

 Fishing 100 metres deep, west of the muiron islands, hooked up to a beast and felt seriously undergunned with my pe3 jigging rod, got it up after a serious effort and we saw a cod shape, thought it was a greyband or eight at that snuck in close, but it was an absolutely massive rankin, 94cm long, estimated weight 12kg, I was chuffed with this fish, but my back wasn’t!
