Surprised that no one has asked the obvious question...Did you put him back? Ohh that should get a few reponses!:giveup:
Cracking fish mate, it's a legend around here and the rest of the country too!
Lucky if a comp turns out 44lb of cod collectively nowadays let alone one monster!

god was it that long ago:blink: i remember when it was caught made big headlines,and rightly so ,also remember seeing bass of around 5 to 6 lbs feeding and jumping at the lock gates at cardiff docks,catching roach at the old timber float at docks, and sessions of catching multitudes of pouting on the foreshore all good size, and catching a cod with every cast in winter down there as well, etc. etc. ahh those were the days, memories:) well done brand cant see that record ever being broken, but who knows!!:notworthy
