Amazing photos of monster fish caught by Hull trawlers and anglers across the years

Hull Live has compiled a gallery of huge fish caught by those in Hull
Hull has a rich fishing heritage and was once one of the largest fishing ports in the country.

From whaling in the 1700s to the discovery of the silver pits in the mid-1800s, fishing was a huge part of Hull life, particularly in Hessle Road, right through until the late 1970s into the early 1980s.

Among all the millions of fish caught there was always a few monsters and bizarre creatures which would be landed.
We delved into our own archives and asked members of the Facebook pages Hull: The Good Old Days, Hessle Road and Hull Bullnose Heritage Group to send in their photos.

Hull also has a healthy population of anglers, whether they are casting for miles off the East Yorkshire beaches or seeking out large carp and pike in the freshwater lakes and waterways.

Everything from sharks to huge halibut, monster cod and even a crayfish feature in out gallery of amazing catches and the ones that did not get away. Watch them in the video

I'm either from Kingston Upon Hull or Cambridge apparently.

 

You must be a well educated, erudite chap. Your result is the same as mine.

 

Are you Ian Ashbee?

 

My knee is about as ****ed as his is.

 

Ditto, same as mine too.

 

Mine comes up only Kingston Upon Hull. I must be an uneducated ****wit. Right

 

Interestingly, at the completion of the survey, I was offered two possibilities: Kingston Upon Hull and Middlesbrough. I was born in and spent my first thirteen years in Hull until we moved to a village about fifteen miles from Middlesborough where I spent the next twelve years. Computers are scary things!

 

Was that near Middlesbrough?

 

The bigger Halibut I ever saw on the fish market one morning was 52 stone.

 

Same here - this despite not living in Hull for more than forty years and having *virtually no trace of an Hull accent*.

*Unless I'm vexed

 

That's clever! It correctly identified me as 'Ull despite not living there for more than 25 years.

 

They can take Stockers out of Ull, but they can't take the Ull out of Stockers

 

Being from the area, I consciously typed BROUGH but spell check must have changed it to BOROUGH. Just like when I typed in, "What a ****ing, clever ****," it changed it to, "What a ****ing, clever arsehole." Scroll on and have a nice day!

 

Me too, I've not lived in Hull, well North Ferriby to be exact, for 38 years and nobody would guess I'm from there as my accent has unconsciously changed completely (I can drop back into it). I even had someone come up to me the other day and ask me if I was from round his way - he's from Chichester in Sussex - I've never even been there!

Strange thing is I have a mate who lives round the corner from me also from our fair city. He's about 10 years older than me and been away longer - and still has a pretty thick accent. So its completely random.

 

I noted both of those but wasn't giving someone a croggy, really a ride on the crossbar? Wasn't there another name for a ride on the seat, possibly seater?

 

When I type in BROUGH it comes out as BROUGH. Just as people shouldn't dish it out if they can't take it comes out as people shouldn't dish it out if they can't take it.
