An All-Tackle Halibut and Seven More Pending IGFA Record Fish
Chalk up a win for Storm Lures with this catch. Using a Storm jig off the coast of Kvalsunclet, Norway, angler Ulf Hugsen bested this 432-pound, one-ounce Atlantic halibut. The battle lasted over and hour and a half, and the fish beat out the current all-tackle world record by more than 12 pounds.
