Wigton Tope

russ tope

Caught this nice Tope from my own boat, Santarez,out in Wigton Bay on the 14th June. She measured 69 inches long,and had a girth of just over 32 inches.

Using the SSACN weight / length chart those measurements come out to roughly 60lb, but I just know that it was a very heavy fish.

Was part of a great weekends fishing out from Garlieston with my partner, Laura, and my youngest daughter Kayleigh, who both also managed to catch their first tope and smooth hounds.
