Cod Fishing 3/23

[Gonzaga]

Well Cabin fever has been killing me so I decided to head to Montauk the other night to go Cod Fishing on the Viking Starship. Arrived at the boat at 2am and set sail at 3am. After a 2 hour ride south of Block Island we set up for our first drift. Boy was it cold..ice on the decks, ice on the face..ice everywhere! A few cod came up on the first drift but once the sun started to show things heated up!(Just not the weather!!!)
Here's the pool winning Cod that I caught. 26.5lbs along with a smaller one, I had caught a few more but decided to hand them out to neighbors for food!
BTW I won 320 Dollars with this fish!!

That's what I thought at first, but he was nice and long, I'm 6'1 he was around 40", just not much of a belly. The size of his head reminded me of a nice big early season bluefish...Huge head and skinny body.
