Caught a bigger fish than that guy ^
Sneep
May I ask where you caught that cod?
Looks like a 7-10 kg thing.
Also: Did you catch it with a "Jukse"?
It was caught in Norway in one of the fjords I visited. It was 8pound, no idea what that is in kg >.>
Can't remember the type of lure I was using at the time... I used alot of different ones in that week.
Yes! Spot on! I figured it looked like a Norwegian fjord, you see.
And the fishing equipment showing in the background (the shiny sickle-shaped thing) is called a "jukse", and is uniquely Scandinavian, which added to my suspicions.
I missed gravely on the weight though...
8 pounds is ca. 4 kgs.
Tackle wise, I'm pretty useless with the names and stuff. That makes sense though, because we bought loads from this fishing shop in Tromso(there's an accent on there somewhere)
They also had loads of guns in that shop, which was the first time I've ever held a gun ;o
Tbh though, the trip was a little disappointing. We were told catching 20 - 40 pound cod was quite common in Norway. Biggest that was caught was 13.
Ah, yes, it's spelled Tromsø.
I've never caught anything heavier than 20 pounds myself; but I'm more of a trout man. I don't particularly like fishing in the sea.
I imagine if you went to Lofoten during the fishing season, or "Lofotfiske" as it's called, you might have some chances of catching really big cod. Otherwise, catching cod that are more than 20 pounds isn't very common (Unless you've got some industrial equipment.).
What you really want though, is the halibut. It lives on the bottom, and can grow to more than 600 pounds. Of course, catching a 600 pound halibut is very rare. I've never fished for halibut myself, nor have I caught any, but it seems bloody exciting to have something like that on the hook.
