Kent lads world record

Post by pikerholic2 »

A big up to st Mary's bay angler and a schoolmate mr Dave wood brignall, who yesterday morning caught a WORLD RECORD shore caught halibut in Norway

153 lb caught on beefed up shore gear , but Dave is a class all round angler , but the fish beat him up !

He was with a party from Kent , who in past years have had shore caught cod to 47 lb

You need a chainsaw to fillet that!! angler that i know from the north east goes over there for the Cod, unbeleiveible fishing but very precarious off the shoreline, litterally a shear drop below.

Superb effort indeed.
One of the most dangerous fish for an angler to catch and the only species where shooting before landing is permitted for record claims.

Doubt it will be beaten for many a year.
Best wishes for his recovery.

They leap around and their tail can reach over and hit their head.
Impossible to pin down to the deck if they are anything large and they grow to over 400lbs.
From memory a record must be fought to the surface before the reducer (.410 through the head) can be applied.

They are absolutely delicious!

Some of these big fish with hard bony heads can definitely stick the nut in, Mike and I have eaten them and yes it was great :thumbs:

Not just big fish that have hard heads,
On my first (trout) fishery I culled pike using a .22 rifle and had a solid bullet go in a 7lbs head and exit sideways halfway along its body, and that was aiming straight down!
Thereafter I used the owners Lee Enfield.

A great catch from the shore. Yes Halibut can be dangerous, very strong, and a tail whip that can break a mans leg.
