Well done Phil,bet that got the knees knocking when he tried getting out the water
heard it was 14lb 11oz, not that we will quibble over 2oz, best cod so far this winter, just heard apparently it was in a South Shields AC match and it might of won the match and heaviest fish.

I'm sure the captor would disagree Alan, those extra two ounces will make all the difference to him
Stonking fish and a big well done to the angler concerned.Always makes me laugh this one, people chasing reports of a fish that has already been caught. Still if it makes for more room for the rest of us on other marks then let them go for it

well done to that man
Waco wasnt there mate. Phil managed to keep the fish up in the water and drag it round to the left side of pier where the the tide pushed it to the stairs. At this point robert lees had his gaff in hand an he managed to hook the beast in the shoulders. U shud see the girth of it, it was a fat pig, full of sprat, crab and unfortunatly for a fish of this size, roe.
