Father and son, Eric and Douglas Dahlberg, showing a couple of cods over 20 kilo. They went for their first ever cod-trip at Sørøya and had a wonderful week. The biggest caught by 15 years old Douglas was a 28 kilo fish tempted by a Cola Cacao colored 470 g big Bob.
Besides this 27 kg heavy and 147 cm long cod Eric Dalhberg also caught a 29 kg fish on the same Days of Thunder colored Big Bob.
Kent Martinsson with his arms full of a 37 kilo and 145 cm cod caught on a “small” 470 g / 30 cm Big Bob. So far it’s the biggest cod caught at the NSA camp on Sørøya this year.
This photo says it all: Nordic Sea Angling guide Ulf Hugsén is devoted and full of admiration, when it comes to big cods. When using a Blue Glamour colored Big Bob jig he first caught a 27 kg cod, and as soon as the jig got back down below the boat he hooked this 32.5 kg fish.
Unbelievable cod season – 28 over 30 kg at Nordic Sea Angling
At the NSA (Nordic Sea Angling) camp at Sørøya cod fishing has been nothing less than fantastic this year. Including the four 30 kg cods caught on Kinetic Test team member Jakob Lindbergs boat a total of nine cods over 30 kg was caught last week.
Ulf Hugsén who is managing the camp right now sums up the camp catches so far (March 28th) to a staggering number of 28 cods over 30 kg caught since the beginning of the month. The majority of big fish are caught on Magic Minnow Big Bob including the biggest fish so far at 37 kg and 145 cm. Ulf himself also managed to land his second fish over 30 kg. The exact weight was 32.5 kg and once again Big Bob did the job! The technique Ulf uses for fishing Big Bob is to jig it above the shoals of cod in long slow movements up and down. Every now and then he adds a bit of variation by making some smaller movements or by slowly retrieving the jig.
