So after that 59 lb beast was snagged be interesting to hear wots the biggest cod you had beach or boat this country pics welcome mines only 7 lb on a stormy night on chisel can’t find a pic ?but not really worth seeing be good to see your pigs tho ?
 
Boat UK 21Lbs
Shore UK 12½Lbs
Shore Norway 21Lbs

Other half:
Shore UK 4Lbs
Shore Norway 28Lbs 14ozs (spent fish, was easily 35+ in condition) and 28Lbs 10ozs (prime condition fish that gave Jax one hell of a good fight)
 
Mine is only 7lb. The number of cod I’ve caught can be counted on one hand. Now living back in the south east, I intend to remedy that!
Good luck.
Not had a UK shore caught cod for 6 seasons now? used to catch 100+ in the mid 2000's
Even struggling on the boat the past 6 seasons.
They have just disappeared ??

About 7lb, from Kingsdown, Kent, about 30 years ago

Boat, about 5lb, Bridlington

last one, about 8 ounces, from Burnham on Mud about 4 years ago.

Not even a shadow of what it was.
To be fair, 90% of the cod were caught by 10% of the anglers.
I think for rod hours fished, kingsdown butts was a more productive venue.
 
7lb 8 oz 2014 or 15 from gravesend mates got pics somewhere been tryna get him to print them off for a couple years now ... he had a 9lbs the same night awesome pic of us with them both wish I'd taken my own pics now
 
The Scottish cod was 49lb I think!

Anyhoo, not too great for me in this country.
Shore: 5lb 7
Boat: 16 or 17lb, I forget exactly but it was a wreck fish and wasn’t really weighed properly.
Boat Norway: 63lb ?

Be honest did you have sex with that fish cause the look on its face said you did ?
