Great stuff Pete ?
 
Boat: 14 + Lbs and more than enough other doubles. Never really weighed them as they were all unwanted by catch when drifting the wrecks for Cod and Pollack.

Shore: from memory a couple of 6's. Never really took much notice of the weight.
I certainly can not remember bass weights like I can cod weights
 
boat- maybe a couple of pound from southampton water .
beach 11lb , hordle.

I'm holding up the proverbial white flag on this one. The only Bass (I think it was a Bass) I ever caught was years ago on Torcross line, and it would have lived quite comfortably in a large salt water Goldfish bowl!
