    Great video John. It's funny that when we're fishing for halibut here of the Southern Oregon coast, skate are a nuisance tending to be a couple of skate to every halibut. The skate run in the triple figures and you can tell when you have one instead of a halibut, as apart from the initial fight, they're like pulling up a wheelbarrow from 300'. Halibut tend to fight all the way up, even though they're mostly half the size of the skate. Looking forward to the rest of the Scottish videos.

    Hi John, firstly I have watched all of your fishing adventures but never commented. I so enjoy reading all the reactions and comments and how you and your family positively effect peoples well being around the world that when i saw comments had been deactivated i promised myself i would add a comment if they were ever reactivated.
    so here goes;
    Firstly those scottish skate! what fantastic creatures, I agree almost alien like. The respect you give them is admirable and so appreciated by all of us.
    Secondly, I'm sure by now you must know how much we all love watching you haul your pots, still get overwhelmed by a spectacular Falmouth sunrise or a pod of dolphins or Tuna paying a visit, an occasional John Dory or those magnificent bars of silver you find so well.
    Thirdly, whether it is a scallop, lobster, crab , squid, octopus, shark, tuna, conger, ling or even those pesky doggies, the respect you show them all is inspirational to us all.
    Finally, thankyou, just thankyou. please keep doing what you are doing and huge love to you Hannah and James

    Some nice fish John ...and Chris. Those catches certainly made that epic drive worthwhile for you both. And its interesting to see how the outer edges of their wings go pink when they are stressed by being hooked. But of course everything goes back to normal once they are returned unharmed.

      Hahaha. And where in Scotland are these big cod to be found? Literally the most sought after fish in the U.K. that literally do not exist any more. A double figure cod is a rare capture now. 1 over 20 is so rare it’s considered a fish of a lifetime in the U.K. now.

    I used to work on the trawlers out of Skye during the early '90's and those skate would slow a boat down more effectively than a drogue if the got caught in a net. -3 is a doddle. Inland Aberdeenshire had -10 for a couple of days last week and a few years back we got down to -24.
