Kent Carmichael of Kansas poses with a monster halibut
he caught Tuesday, June 28, 2011, in the Gulf of Alaska, about 90
minutes offshore from Pelican in Southeast Alaska. The fish wasn't
weighed but it measured 94 inches, said Highliner Lodge owner Steve
Daniels. According to the Alaska Tide Book, Daniels said, that
converts to 466.2 pounds. The state record for a sport-caught
halibut is 459 pounds.
