Hi there fellow viking.<br /><br />I don't mean to steal the glory but may be interesting nonetheless. A norwegian fisherman has cought a cod well above the 100 lb. The experts meant the fish was about 120 Lb before it was gutted. It's quite close to the max limit for the atlantic cod (Gadus morhua).Though the tekst is in norwegian the picture is worth a look<br /> http://www.finnmarken.no/lokale_nyheter/article1554851.ece
