If it's 56lbs and caught by William Ivis in 1914 then yes. What I can't find trace of is the 64lb salmon caught but not recorded - will have to chat with "Shanks" Tuohy to find out

Nice to see the old pics , pity we don't see fish like that again on the river shannon, what a pity, its what happens when you dam a mighty river like the shannon will never see that size of fish again.

Would like to track this guy's pics "The late
Mr. C. Williams of Llanrumney Hall Cardiff ...it is him I am indebted for the excellent photographs of the river" from Augustus Grimble book The Salmon Rivers of Ireland 1913" They must be somewhere or else I'll have to take a peek at an original A.G.copy!
