What a Catch! 13-Year-Old's Huge Halibut Could Set a New Record

  • On Monday, 13-year-old Jackson Denio from Hampton, New Hampshire, landed a 177-pound Atlantic halibut while fishing roughly 100 miles offshore near Cashes Ledge in the waters off New England.
  • Denio hooked the fish soon after lowering pollock bait while on a multi-day fishing excursion alongside about 30 other participants, initially hoping to catch a shark but advised to fish near the seabed.
  • Denio fought the halibut for around 30 minutes while the crew and passengers cheered, and Captain Jim Walsh praised Denio's composure and said the fish started to tire out eventually.
  • The 177-pound catch exceeded the previous junior angler record of 130 pounds and is now part of an application submitted for verification as a potential world record by the official game fish record organization.
  • Denio expressed eagerness to fish again and attempt to beat the record, while his family awaits official confirmation and prepares freezer space for the halibut.
