Just for the Halibut - Neatorama

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

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
