Tromsø Halibuts + World Record from Iceland
This summer Kinetic test team member Jakob Lindberg took his boat to Norway in pursuit of monster halibut – and what a trip. During 11 days of fishing Jakob and his friends caught 35 Halibuts. What makes this number impressive is the average weight of those fish. Only 3 halibuts had a weight below 23 kilo and 8 of them were above 50 Kilos with the five biggest weighing 70, 75, 75, 95 and 104 kilos! Jakob caught 23 fish out of the total catch, but the biggest one - measuring 195 cm - was caught by Reinhold Meyer.
To handle and weigh those big fish Jakob used a big catfish weigh sling and a 200 kg scale before releasing them unharmed.
If anyone had mentioned a catch of Atlantic halibut like this just a few years ago, they would have been considered as total nutcases, but these years the catches and the knowledge of those big flat predators just seem to reach new levels.
