The Telegraph (UK) reported that Michael Eisele caught a 103-pound cod off Norway last month. It still needs to be confirmed by the International Game Fishing Association.
Alphonse Bielevich caught his record fish off of the Isles of Shoals, according to the New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game. That cod weighed in at 98 pounds and 12 ounces and its length was measured at 63 inches.
