Record British-caught cod

biggest one i see landed in boat was my mates at 38lb but that pair what made the news was absolutely out of this world:)
 
Only in the Noughties I was fishing off the back of a US navy warship near a Nato Fuelling jetty near Narvik. 8oz perk 60m to the bottom. Never done it before. My fisherman friend said "wind up 6 foot and then lift your rod up and down to entice the fish". I did this once and bang I was in. And again and again and again. What a fantastic place in the Norwegian fjords admittedly it was February but a beautiful place.
 
Yes. Been there twice.

Amazing fishing. Quite a few 30's.

Huge coalfish. Huge Torsk. Huge everything.

Beautiful Scenery. Clean Air.
