Specimen Fish
The Irish Specimen Fish Committee:
This voluntary independent body consists of representatives of the Irish Angling Federation and the Government Departments and official organisations interested in angling. Its objective is to verify, record and publicise the capture of large fish on rod and line in Irish waters. A list of Specimen Fish is published annually by the Committee. Only fish which can be fully vouched for as to weight and species can be accepted and listed by the Committee.
If you catch a specimen fish and wish to claim a specimen award, the fish must be weighed on a certified scales, and the capture witnessed. Full details of how to claim are provided on the website at www.irish-trophy-fish.com .
