54lb Cod

[Davyred]

Caught off Whitby.....50 yards off to be precise. He'd had a 40lber a week previously from the same place.

Some of these fish from days gone by are unbelievable, I just wish I had some clippings to post but unfortunately I wasn't even born when most of this took place!

 

[phil185]

I want one!!! Gary, you and i where born too late lol.

I think I remember this one. He netted it on the left of the west pier and would have been a shore record. Within casting distance of the shore!

Just think of the pile of chips you'd need to go with that! No need for bread for a butty that's for sure!

A slight better than your Flounder outa the Tyne Hadji ha...But nice all the same. Hope your lass was impressed with the photo

It's pinned on the fridge, helping with the diets and on the gate to keep the kids out
