North Sea Fishing trip

[Machias]

I'm currently over in the UK visiting family.  Got to catch a charter fishing trip on the North Sea last week.  Beautiful day,  Managed to catch several smooth hounds and a dogfish.

What is a smooth hound? What are the typical prized sport fish there?

"Like other smooth-hound sharks, the common smooth-hound aggregates in large numbers, like a pack of dogs, so they are called hounds."

A similar species, Brown Smooth-Hound sharks can be found from Baja to Northern Cali.
