 What
is the biggest fish that you have ever seen in your life? If someone
told you that a fisherman caught a fish that is heavier
than a human, would you believe it? To our surprise, recently, a German
fisherman went fishing off the coast of Norway,
and caught a huge fish weighing 233 kg!
One day in July, a fisherman named Marco Liebenow was trying to catch
some fish in Norwegian waters. While fishing, he
felt something big on his hook. But when he tried to
reel it in, it was too heavy.
After 90 minutes, Livenow and his three friends managed to reel the fish
up. However, the fish was too big to fit in their small boat, and
they brought the fish to shore by tying the fish to
the boat.
 The fish was
really huge. The fish was a kind of halibut. It weighed 233 kg
and was 2.8 m long. Experts think that the halibut
had lived over 50 years. It seems that the halibut will set the new
record as the heaviest Atlantic halibut of the International Game
Fishing Association (IGFA).
The Atlantic halibut is a large fish, and they can weigh up to 317 kg and be up to
4.6 m long. They can live up to 50 years! |
