A picture of a cod caught in Trinity, Trinity Bay, on August 12, 2008 - the last day of the recreational cod fishery. It weighed in at 61 pounds and measured 5 feet long. Trinty is filled with tourists during the summer and to land this in Trinity Harbour just adds to all the excitement. I grew up in Bay de Verde, and everyone knows how big a fishing village that is, but this is the biggest I have ever seen. I'm sure some of the fisherman there can tell a few stories of big ones they have caught; just a while ago, there was one published in our local newspaper, the Clarenville Packet, weighing in at 30 pounds. They called that one "the granddaddy." I don't know what to call this one: all I know is that the story goes the big one always gets away, but not this time. This is one tourist that won't be returing home! To add to my story, I caught it on a rod. What a way to end something I love doing. P.S. Mine also made the local paper a few weeks later.   Submitted By: NULL
