NORWAY: caught a 222 pound Atlantic Halibut


This week, during a afternoon session on Nordic Sea Anglings fishing camp in Nappstraumen, Erik Axner caught this enourmous halibut measuring 196 cm with an estimated weight just above  222 lbs - 100 kilo.

The fish was caught on a float, rigged with a coalfish which makes it the biggest halibut ever caught with this method in the world!
