The Irish record list does not differentiate between shore and boat caught records. Specimen certificates can be claimed by any angler who catches a fish above the qualifying weight. Specimen claim forms are available from the Irish Specimen Fish Committee.

* Note - Common Skate are suspended from specimen claims as a conservation measure until further notice.
