This cod weighted 38 kg and was cached by

a Icelandic fisherman few years ago.

In the year of 1941 in SW-Iceland, the biggest cod (in Iceland) was cached from a local fishing boat. The cod was measured 181 cm long and weighted over 60 kg. In the past 20-30 years the population of the big cod around Iceland has shrunken a lot but fishermen, using long lines, have once in a while brought very large cod's to the harbor around 30-40 kg (from 150-160 cm long).

However the biggest cod I known witch has been cached by sea angler in Iceland weighted around 28 kg in the West fjords. The Icelandic record (EFSA in Iceland) is around 22 kg. The sea anglers from Germany has beaten the Icelandic record in the West fjords many times and this summer we will try to document the biggest and the heaviest fishes cached by the sea anglers with respectable equipment. Then everyone can read about the records beaten every year, where and who cached the fish.

Talking about large cod's: In documents from Newfoundland say's that the biggest cod ever cached there was 200 cm long and weighted 73 kg. That is most likely the biggest cod in the world I know about after reading lot's of documents.

In Norway the biggest cod weighted around 60 kg and 180 cm long. But few years ago there was another big one cached from Norway but he was 46 kg after cutting. So likely he weighted over 60 kg without cutting.

If we bear in mind that true fact, cod's have been cached by fishermen's for so long time, we all can agree there has been bigger cod's cached in the older days. But know one can tell.
