New Hampshire teen hooks potential record-setting halibut

Jackson, 13, submitted a 174-pound halibut caught off New Hampshire’s seacoast to the International Game Fish Association for junior record consideration.

  • Jackson Denio, a 13-year-old from Hampton, New Hampshire, reeled in a 177-pound Atlantic halibut on Monday about 100 miles off Cashes Ledge.
  • On Sunday, Denio joined an overnight charter with about 30 others on Al Gauron's Deep Sea Fishing and Whale Watching, hoping for a big fish but never expecting a certified 174-pound halibut.
  • Denio battled the fish for about 30 minutes, and `It was very exciting`, Jackson said, while crew members screamed and Walsh praised Denio's composure.
  • They filed weigh-in data, photos and gear information with the International Game Fish Association, applying for the junior record for Atlantic halibut and a line-class application after catching a 177-pound fish.
  • Local attention has focused on the Hampton teen's haul as Jackson Denio shows off the catch at Pease and expresses eagerness to fish again and beat the record.
