This is most likely a new world record for a junior. Previous record for a Halibut caught by a junior was about 40 pounds less.

Not many fish in the sea taste as good as fresh Halibut steaks! Wow!

After glancing at the article, I was going to suggest he had some help reeling in the fish. According to this article he fought the fish the whole way to the boat and had plenty of witnesses.

“Good Cod!” he exclaimed as the thing pulled him right off his perch.

I assume his father took him fishing, that’s what all fathers should do spend quality time with their kids.

That’s a heck of a haul for anyone. I hooked a 40 pounder here in Alaska-took me almost 30 minutes to haul it up from 400 feet-those rods are built like 1/2-inch rebar for a reason.

Poor kid.

He will be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Spreading his hands out as far as he can, to example how big his fish was folks will only look at the distance between thumb and first finger, and laugh.

He will plead. They will laugh. He will cry in frustration.

And THAT my fellow freeper friends,is why I refuse to fish.

- You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our Lord. And so, as a blasphemer, you are to be stoned to death.

- Look, I’d had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.

- Blasphemy! He said it again!
