Cod jigging. Thought I had a supersteaker, wound up not even winning the pool..*L*. I saw a length chart that had a 60lb average and a 72lb max for a 54" fish. Fish doesn't look over 20lbs fatter than an average fish but who knows.

I CAN hold an 82# fish straight out. Especially amped up after catching a beast like that.

And I could hold that fish out. I can take a hindsaddle of veal off a double hook above my head and carry it 3 blocks on my shoulder (Done and Done).

My biggest problem is catching a fish

The current world record, McReynolds fish, was only 53 inches long and weighed 78 1/2 lbs.

It may be legit but I still think that scale needs to be re-certified to make sure. McReynolds fish looks to have a much bigger head and gut. I used to know of several local tackle shops that had IGFA stickers on their scales which were commonly 3 or 4lbs off. The whole fluke tourney controversy from this weekend points out that properly maintained scales can be inaccurate.
