Fisherman thought he hooked a submarine
A fisherman from Germany caught the fish of a lifetime, a world-record Atlantic halibut that was so big it wouldnt fit into the boat.
Marco Liebenow was fishing with three friends in a 19-foot boat in Norwegian waters when he hooked what he thought was a submarine.
By halibut fishing standards, it was a submarine. The Atlantic halibut weighed 515 pounds, smashing the existing IGFA world record of 419 pounds caught in Norwegian waters in July 2004.
After a 90-minute battle, Liebenow managed to reel the fish to the surface. But once the fishermen saw how big it was, they realized the fish was too big to haul into the small boat. So they tied a rope around its tail.
WOW, double WOW.
Definitely one monster fish. Wouldn't it be great to be able to catch Bass that size? Of course, there would only be enough food available to have one per lake.
Maybe that explains the Loch Ness monster-- what if it just turns out to be just a giant Halibut or Bass?
If you catch something like this, you'd either have to give most of it away-- or buy a bigger freezer!
How would you like to be in the boat with this fellow. Not the one holding the fish.
Coming to a lake near you.

Even when it's working properly, you can only see half of the fish. Camera just isn't big enough for this one.
LMAO, good one BF
I've been in a couple of those bars too Fish.
Kind of sounds like The Old Man and the Sea doesn't it.
There's a fish that is starting to take over in the Great Lakes (or in that vicinity). I forget the name of it-- I thinks its "Doghead" or something like that. its creating lots of problems..
I found it-- its another "invasive species" called "the jumping fish" or Asian Carp-- I will post an article about it.
