scolopax Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Fish and chips anybody ? http://www.dagbladet.no/2013/05/27/nyheter/innenriks/fisk/torsk/verdensrekord/27378747/ and with the help of Google Translate : Germans Michael and Dieter Eisele got big tug and pulled up a cod of 47 kg in April this year. Since then, the fish traveled to Kristiansand where it is waiting to be stuffed. Jarle Thorkildsen in taksidermifirmaet Naturexpo grabbed the phone when he heard the news about the fish and took on took on the mission to create a realistic model of cod. The model will be produced in three editions, one of the fishermen, one of the South Island fishing center and the Norwegian Fisheries Museum in Bergen. - This is a fun task to get. Everyone who works here is fascinated by nature, and thought this would be fun, says Thorkildsen to Dagbladet. It is a comprehensive process that precedes the employees of Taxidermy. The fish will be scattered and Mould and painted by hand in triplicate. It will take at least six months before the models are clear, and the fish will be in the freezer over the summer. 36 minute match Michael Eisele is very proud of the catch, and was to heave the 160-centimeter-long beast into the small fishing boat they put in. - It feels great. We have come to Norway for over 25 years to fish, and finally we were at the right place at the right time, and fortunately withstood rod weight, Eisele says to Dagbladet. Despite his long experience, they were not prepared for that sunny day in April would rekorfangst. - We were surprised that the fish was so big, and we had to scramble to get it up. We were three adult men who helped pull up the fish. I could never have done it alone, says Eisele. - Eldorado South Island, off Hammerfest, has for years been a favorite spot for anglers in search of records, and both Norway records and world records set here. Eisele beating the previous record of Norway on 41 kg. - We chose this area precisely because it is known for the size of cod, in other words, a fisherman's paradise, says Eisele. Michael Eisel's second-generation fisherman and run a company, along with his father, who distributes Norwegian fish to Germany. The secret The fishermen used a simple and modest sport fishing rod when they took the fish, and the trick is in the bait, according to Eisele - We use a rubber fish as bait, which must be the correct size. So it's time to move the fish a little, but not too much, to lure prey into thinking that the fish live, says Eisele.

UKPoacher Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What has really peed me off about this story is that I've just clicked on the map to see where it was caught, right up north of Norway, almost arctic waters, and the weather is 4 degrees C warmer than here.
