The Cod are up here in the north. As well as their friends, sharks. I went out four days ago and boated 4 1/2 keepers in just over a half hour. The 1/2 that I boated was a whole until about 10 feet under the boat. Just as I could see color starting, out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash, felt two heavy head shakes, and then had a little more than a head left on my jig. I did not wash my hands over the side for a little while, but that was not the only thing that needed to be cleaned.
I just had to make due with that pair of underwear until I got back in.
