BREAKING NEWS!!! CODZILLA HAS BEEN CAUGHT!!!!
One of my guests Tom "The Codfather" Ascott has just landed a new world record shore caught cod. Weighing 66 pounds and 8 ounces on certified scales this fish obliterates the existing record.
This would of been some feat from a boat, but this is an incredible capture from the shore and an outstanding effort by Tom.
Everything went right for Tom during the fight, there were several moments that the fish could of been lost. He had severe ledges and snags to deal with, plus a strong current in quite deep water. The fish almost spooled him twice!
But he held his nerve and had the luck on his side and that combined with some great angling saw the fish beached after a 20 minute struggle. A big thanks to Stu Andrews who jumped down and grabbed the beast, top cod wrestler!!
Well done Tom, I know what this means to you mate and I'm glad to witness such a capture.
66lb 8oz, 145cm long, 90cm around the gut, 20cm across the mouth, it had 3 part digested fish in its gut, one of which weighed about 6lb, and this fish weighed 49lb 8oz GUTTED!!!!Attached FilesBest shore caught fish:- Pollock 6lb+ Beadnell, 9lb 8oz Cod Blyth Beach -
