Big fish, little fish

There must be a million photos hanging on walls or now languishing in photo archives of men standing holding out the “giant” fish that they’ve just caught. Their faces beaming with pride and exertion, believing that their’s is the most impressive offering.

I think that this guy has beaten all those hopefuls in one, ridiculously oversized swoop. This is a crazy fish. It doesn’t seem real, but it is. This is a 327-pound halibut caught in Alaska, which is itself dwarfed by the 459-pound halibut caught in Alaska back in 1996. I didn’t even think halibut were big!
