Caught 50 kg cod: "Like winning the lottery" By Eysteinn caught the monstrous cod on Friday. 6. október 2014 10:18 "I've been at sea for 16 years and this is the biggest cod I've ever caught.

Eysteinn is a seaman on the boat Ágúst GK 95 which fishes out of Grindavík. Eysteinn says that it's always exciting to watch the catch being rolled aboard the boat.

In this case I saw that something big was coming in, so I was ready to hook him and bring him in by hand. It was quite an effort getting such a heavy fish on board." The seaman is delighted with his catch, but the cod will face the same fate as every other cod that they catch; processed and sold in a fishstore in Grindavík. "It won't be put on display or anything, it'll just end up on someone's plate." Eysteinn says that a lot of prestige comes with catching such a big fish. "I'm really proud.
