Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Norwegian spearfishing record at 28.0 kg and 118 cm:


They grow bigger, at least to 45 kg, but the big schools of giants are usually found in deep waters (at least too deep for spearfishing) off the coast.

My biggest cod, in the 13-15 kg range:

Beautiful fish Anders. How do they react to divers? How do they behave when shot?

Thanks guys, it was a great trip for sure and glad the pics came out good to
Their reaction to divers can be quite variable, but mostly reflect the fact that big cod are usually the area's top predator. If you hang out in a school of bait they'll often come to inspect you after a fairly short time. Also, in dark water they tend to almost light up as their so brightly coloured compared to other fish or the surroundings, so they're often very easy to spot. Smaller fish can sometimes be more scittish. In pressured spots it can be different. I've spotted, but failed to get even close to shooting range on huge (probably resident) cod (15kg+) in certain spots where 5-10 kg fish can sometimes be had on every drop.
They're usually poor fighters, but one out of five-ten fish will put up a decent first run and may tug your line a little. Most will just shake about and try to loose the spear, so they're usually very easy to get to the surface.

Cod..it can also be used as a way of cooking fish not just cod.
