it was a good fish i know that i was in the area at the time it was caught right on low water the size i couldnt say i was at some distance but i heard the shouts of welldoness at the time and seen some photo shoots going on i later heard a day or 2 later it was returned there and then welldone that man awesome fish

 

[Charlton]

the lad also returned the fish.

[basswrasse2]

do you not want to see it then

 

[treeboa]

always nice to see what the lads catch, think it gives us the more reason to go wet a line, especially when your own sessions been dismal for a couple weeks lol, though you got to admit when you see something that size comes out you cant help feeling at least a little bit green

as to me chucking it back, if i caught it, think i would still be stood there in disbelief tbh

fond memory when i was at school ( god thats a long time ago) mate took a 25lb pike from bala lake, he was still taking it around all the lads in a wheelbarrow posin with it three days later

post the pic, im sure my lappy can handle the drool

yes i knew about this ,i pm charlton asking if heed heard about it a short while back , i heard he let it go thats class and i was over the moon when i heard ,if i never ate them id return it also but erm a like a bit cod

 

[COD BOY]

So it's back in the water for us all
to try and catch once more.

Well done that man

nice fish
but eating a fish that big wouldnt be as nice as eating a fillet from a 2 lb er
pan size

 

[kela66]

i have read somewhere that commercial boats like the smaller codling for that reason , why does cod taste better like that ? is it like the lamb / mutton type of thing ie younger tender meat ??

 

[sless]

ive always found the bigger the fish the wormier it is
especialy in the summer months

 

[jordy]

Nice fish well done to the lad for putting it back too.

[Deans]

the bloke must had hes reasons probs its gut was chocker and full of roe

whats roe marra.is it feed or is it when the fish is spawning or is it that jelly orange stuff you get in it.

and am not talking about the normal gut guys.

i fillet a lot of cod over the season and a few of the decent ones have that orange stuff??

had one 14lb 2 years ago off steetly and that one was different, sure it was spawning. oops
