Think it could be 54lb, I recall this figure was in the mags a few years ago but dont know if its boat caught or shore, i know the British record was around the 44lb mark.....may be wrong hope you find out.

Mick, Dave and Nicky's fish were not caught in the UK so would not count as british record even if they are bigger.

All three of the big Norway cod would have beaten the European record which stands at 44lb 8oz caught from Barry, Wales in 1966.

A wee bit to go for the European ALl-Tackle record - 82lb! from Norway.

british shore record is showing 44 lb 8 ounces by a b . jones at glamorgan boat record is showing 58lb 8 ounces by noel cook at whitby if this helps .
 
yes 44 lb from wales the story been in the sea angler a few times ,he got the fish mounted aswell he was a young boy fishing with his dad an am sure he was fishin with herring strip :o:o:)
 
so far all I can definately find out is the European record shore caught cod is the British record of 44lb, the IGFA are all in together only differential is line class. Have e mailed both see what they come back with
