The "Best Foreign Fish" Trophy

The Best Foreign Fish Trophy was originally known as the Irish Trophy
and was awarded for the best Irish fish caught each year.
It is now awarded annually to the group member who has caught
the best specimen fish whilst abroad that year -
calculated as a percentage of world record weight.

The 2009 Foreign Fish Trophy was awarded to Vince Rogers for an 18lb Asian Red-tailed Catfish taken in Thailand.
