Gunther Hansel, some 70 years old, has landed the catch of his life – a record-breaking halibut weighing 220kg (34st), I bet he is still wondering where to order all of the chips to go with it!
the mighty fish has broken all records – beating the previous best by 8.2kg (18lb), the earlier record was held by anglers Bosse Carlsson and Hans-Olov Nilsson, weighing 210kg (464lb), caught off Norway in July 2009, Atlantic halibut are native to the northern Atlantic ocean, from Greenland to the Barents Sea and as far south as the Bay of Biscay, we are going fishing tomorrow - but my sights will be a little lower than one of these!
