Just for the Halibut

A fish over eight feet long is thought to be the largest line-caught halibut ever! Fisherman Soren Bec landed the fish off the coast of Norway after a “titanic struggle.” The trophy measure 8’ 1” and weighs 31 stone (434 pounds). Link -via Digg

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Unbelievable. I would swear that was a photoshop if it wasn’t in the Telegraph.

it is most likely the creation of all that nuclear crap the soviets dumped off the coast of ussr/norway back in the day… mutants will continue to show up until we clean that up. Damn them

Nice fish. Maybe a close second to Alaska’s 459 lb record.

That must be the record for Atlantic Halibut. Pacific record is 459Lb. (32.785714272 stone)
