39.4 kilo cod caught on Giant Jighead from Kinetic
Kinetic test team member and freelance writer Jakob Lindberg has spent more weeks than any other Danish angler at Sørøya in northern Norway in search of the area's legendary big cod. This year the fishing was better than ever before, so when Jakob at the end of March had a chance to get off to Nordic Sea Angling’s camp there was no way around it. The trip was planned in haste and the first 1 ½ days Jakob fished alone until fish mate Filip Faurholm joined. Together the two experienced an unbelievable fishingadventure targeting the so-called skrei – a strain of cod, which migrates from the Barents Sea to northern Norway to spawn.
In total they caught 22 cod over 20 kilos. April 1st the fishing went absolutely berserk when Philip landed a cod of 32.2 kg and Jakob got to test his Kinetic Godspeed 20-30 lbs rod with a cod of 36.1 kg. Both fish were caught on the heaviest model Giant Jighead from Kinetic.
Few would have thought that this catch could be surpassed, but already April 3rd a huge cod inhaled the Giant Jighead Filip was using. Filip had to put all his strength into his Greys Siege rod before he managed to land an extremely thick cod of 130 cm length. There was no doubt, that this was the heaviest cod caught during the trip, so immediately the two anglers sailed the harbor to get the exact weight of the fish. Soon it was clear to both of them that the European record of 37.52 kg was passed with a solid margin, as the fish weighed 39.4 kg.
Filips fish will apply for a new European record, but it might not be a long-lived record. Already the day after a cod of 41 kg was caught by German Manfred Müller, who sailed from Skjervøy Seafishingcamp and fished in Olderfjorden. Whether this catch will apply for a European record is not yet known.
