Another solid cod … 27” long. Here in New England, we are allowed to keep 1 cod per fisherman per day thru October. So I took a chance and I threw back a 24” cod that I caught an hour earlier. It paid off! #fillingthefreezer

Fish Angler DAD’s out there …. Fall fishing with my favorite angler ever - my son - does it get any better than this? Wow …. my son and I sure put a THUMPING on the ATLANTIC COD this glorious Sunday 🙏 !! OK - if I am being honest, my son did!! I mostly caught medium-sized puppies and watched him reel in some serious hawg cod! We caught 9 or 10 in a couple hours of fishing — good ratios — kept 1 each (they have to be 23” or larger to harvest). A double-up along the way, including a hilarious blooper video — these cod are so friggan slippery!! They do NOT like being photographed, I guess! Even the ones being released were camera shy! The cod are so colorful this year — deep and dark hues with gorgeous leopard 🐆 spots that really “pop” in the sunlight. This tells me the Massachusetts state fish is on the rebound - healthy and thriving. Nothing like seeing your “kid” smile all day ! PS - if you raise your kids to love and respect nature, you are gifted days like this when it warms your heart. ☀️ ❤️ 🎣. Feeling grateful and so blessed today 🙏
