Blimey. As much as I like halibut to eat, I do wonder if one of that size would be as tough as old boots.……and it was’t anything remarkable in halibut terms. Even the British rod-caught record is well over double that, and world record something like 450lb.
Edit….actually even bigger. Here’s one over 500lb caught in Norway
Fish and chips for tea it is! Angler smashes world record by catching 37-stone halibut that's heavier than a GORILLA
The enormous flat fish was caught by Marco Liebenow in Norway and tipped the scales at a whopping 37 stones - heavier than a wild gorilla.www.dailymail.co.uk
I'm also intrigued by freshwater monsters. Many years ago I watched a programme about this bloke who bought a lake in Brittany, with a view to stocking it with carp. But he had heard tales of a big catfish in it, so he drained it. As the water level got lower, it became apparent just how big this catfish was. It was the length of a room - something like 13 or 14 feet, maybe more.
