world record cod

[Ian Alexander]

Hello,

I'm sure that Ken Robinson's cod was 40lb 11oz and was caught in 1988. Somewhere I have a magazine cutting with the details. I'll see if I can find it.

Regards Ian.

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

58LB caught out whitby on sea-trek in 1993 if iam not mistaken, the fish was caught on some rough ground 30miles off whitby.

One of the local trawlers form whitby had a cod 46kg last week while fishing off the norwegian coast it was weighed on the boat .

They didn't take that long to get in mate. They only tried a couple of runs but there was a very tricky ledge that the lads had to get them over.

Didn't Ken Robinson get a 44lb 'er from Balcary a few years back ?

I'm sure that was a Scottish record, not sure about a UK record.

Ken's cod was 40lb 6ozs, i remember, cos i weighed it for him at whitley bay clubhouse at 1-30 am. It must have lost a couple of lbs in fluids from being caught.
