Just looked on the WSF forum and read this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 lb cod of Blyth
I heard that when they blew the foundations for the 2 large wind turbines off Blyth that a 100lb cod was found. Has anyone heard of this or is it just a fishermans tale?..


Is someone telling porkies or what..lol

i heard they blew a wreck up a few years ago and a 70lb cod floated to the top of the water

Lad I work with dives out of the Tyne a lot ...there\'s a major wreck with another just on top of it ( clue ) lol ,has a resident fish ,been there about 15 years at least 60lb ,about 6 ft long.

 

[alan]

does he have a name,the fish ?

 

[Marc]

Know the wreck well Steve, but never seen the fish on it though.

Any one fancies trying for it , PM me and I\'ll give you the co-ords for it but chances are you travel over it every time you fish.

100lb cod, well I`m sure it is correct .......... I think I`ve hooked it lots of times but at 100lb it always so heavy it snaps me line so i never even manage to get it off the bottom
