Any chance you can get a pic of it, Sam?

I trust the catch and release method was utilised.

 

Big cod had one not far short of that weight last winter about 800 metres from the shore.

SPRING 500 metres from the shore and we lost one as big 2 days later (the one that got away), but yes it was a cracking fish the guy had it on for 10 minuites took one last dive slipped the hook his swivell was actually coming out of the water when it dropped off a sickener you would say but thats fishing.

Is this a wind-up Sam, was it glowing neon green

 

Thats a cracking fish and i hope it puts the mockers on all these essex jokes for a while

 

Wouldn't land that bugger from the pier

[Norfolkdan]

Fish like that - 500 metres from the shore, and some of your colleagues still insist on going 100 miles plus.
