What is the biggest cod you have EVER caught?

[adambroadley]

hi,

 

 

Nows your chance to show off how big your biggest cod you have ever caught is...

 

whether its just 3lbs or 30lbs just have your say. My biggest is an 8 pounder off Kettleness (near Whitby)

 

 

 

well what are your biggest?........

20 years ago I had two cod of 32lb on sucessive drops, over a wreck from brighton, on whole large cuttlefish bait. Since then I have not had one over 15lbs.

Biggest cod was also an 8lber.......taken from Robin Hoods Bay(also near whitby)

 

As much as i enjoy catching, and eating, cod, I actually voted for bass as my favourite fish to catch. I havent caught many living up here in the North but the 1-2lb schoolies I caught really fought even on my fairly stiff rock rod. I bet a big fish is really good sport.

 

All the cod I have had, and there havent been a great deal of them , have just lied there like a sack of potatoes as I reeled them in

15 lb from the barrows last october .....not massive i know but i was still very pleased

18lb cod my biggest on a rod ,caught, on ground from big cods boat off Whitby.

When I was a trammel netter 2 -3 and a half stoners about 250 yards off marine drive Scarborough,both full of roe feb. 89.

Had one just over 56lb on a long line, best on me rod was 28 lb from the Rough Towers area off Harwich.

 

Once many years ago I took a new club member to a secret shore mark to try and catch his first shore caught cod, showed him where to cast, ten minuets later gaffed a 23lber for him, I was only a tiny bit jealous.

As for Cod, my biggest rod caught one is a 13lber out of the Holy Loch in the mid 80ies. Though I did help remove a 56lber from a gill net in Loch Long about 8 years earlier

Nice one Adam.

 

My biggest is 14.5 pounds cod from the shore between Runswick and Port Mulgrave. Ive seen 4 other doubles from exactly the same spot whilst Ive been stood there. I've also had an eight pounder from Kettlness which I think your father enjoyed with a few chips.

I love catching cod but have to admit that the 1 fish that made me physically shake was a 12 pound sea trout in the esk. It took me all of 45 mins to land it and I had to sit down for as long afterwards to calm down.
