Bert Williams’ 90lb Cod Wins Sportquest Holidays Fishing Competition

Cast your minds back to March 2016 and the news of the huge Norwegian Cod caught by Bert “Codfather” Williams at a huge weight of 41Kilos around 90LB. It appeared in most national newspapers plus on a lot of news channels.

Well it is our great pleasure to announce he is the winner of Nordic Sea Angling & Sportquest Holidays biggest catch closest to the Norwegian Record of 2016. So a massive congratulations Bert and it couldn’t of happened to a keener angler than Bert Williams.

The Biggest Cod ever caught by a British Angler

He has been gifted 10,000 SEK, around £850 to use against any of the following hosted trips to Norway:

Hosted Skrei Cod Fishing Havoysund

Hosted Halibut Fishing Havoysund

Hosted Nappstraumen on the Lofoten Islands

Hosted Å on the Lofoten Islands

Once we had received this amazing news from our partners Nordic Sea Angling that Bert had won this awesome prize, we thought it would be unfair to keep it from Bert any longer. So with a quick call, Bert was over the moon and really did not expect such a great prize. He has now put his name down to join Sportquest Holidays’ fully hosted trip to Havoysund in 2018
