German fisherman Michael Eisele has reeled in a record-breaking
cod, the largest to ever be recorded.
According to Huffnews,
The International Game Fishing Association features a world record
on the biggest cod at 98 pounds (44.5 kg).
The fish caught by Eisele weighs a whopping 103 pounds (47 kg) but
it's not officially a winner, the catch has to be certified by the
IGFA first.
The fisherman spent 30 minutes just getting the cod on his boat. He
reeled it in while he was on a trip in Norway.
"I saw two red dots on the sonar-screen and it looked like a big
one. [...] It took me more than half an hour to get the fish up.
When we saw the fish my knees was starting shaking. It was so big,"
Eisele says.
