20 Stone Halibut

[Guest DonRamos]

If anybody gets the chance, check The Times from today.

 

A 20 Stone Halibut was caught off the West Coast of Scotland.

 

Quite amazing.

How many potato fields would you need to make enough chips for that?

 

The rest of the article makes for sobering reading though.

I think i read somewhere about these fish a few years ago. Aren't they like really big flat fish that have been known to break peoples arms and legs when flapping around in boats? I think i read about people bringing them alongside the boat giving them a blast with a shotgun then playing them abit longer. Can't remember where this was.
