Heck of a catch!!!

Geno

World record....not! Not even the American record. Only the largest in the lower 48 states. Big fish though.

Yes Greg, just as the article states. Only in the lower 48 states...;)

Yep says record in lower 48 right in the article

Been seeing this floating around the web with the same BS about "World Record" all week. I know that Howard's fish was 180+, but apparently Alaska does not count? I guess I have a lot of "Record" fish, just for very small and specific areas (measured in square feet). :rolleyes::D Btw, who is keeping the "Records" that he broke? It sure is not the IGFA.

I have the record for the longest turd ever released by a human being on a kayak

Lo! Being on team sewer gives you an unfair advantage for that record.

I would say "No pics, didn't happen" but I won't.

The halibut in the picture below is not a record anywhere in any body of water.

That's a great article. An epic catch, especially in light of the line test and other factors involved.

I just wish they did a better job of referencing the actual record by Howard McKim. His fish was 183 pounds.
Hard to get a good size reference because Howard is about 6'9" as I recall.
