islandgun Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 would like to say thats a beauty but that doesnt really descibe it but can anyone explain why these fish exist in Norwegian waters and not here, its not just over fishing because we routinely caught large cod in the past even in my lifetime but never anything approaching these weights. thanks for posting ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggysreels Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thats my mate Burt (and he shoots)... he's done okay in Norway, but we beat him over the Cod winter league, by a country mile l might add .. He's had a monster Halibut in Canada a few years back ... travels the world fishing and shooting. Frankly, he's bone idle imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl jones Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 My mates often go to Norway sea fishing and cod of that size are super super rare. I think the lads have been going every year for 5 years and biggest they have had is mid 40s and they generally go in party's of 10 peeps. Not really my cup of tea. Iv personally fished Canada for sturgeon/ salmon - egypt for nile perch - Spain twice for big cats and France twice but can't recommend Canada enough. When I can afford it I'll be back there in a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoggysreels Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Burt has shot in Africa numerous times .. also Pakistan, Russian and all over Europe and numerous other places. He likes fishing Cuba .. not bad for a self made man. Ive also had the pleasure of a spin in his Vantage V12. He's a real character. His grandson has recently got a helicopter. Made up for him.
