Norfolk Fisherman Achieves Record-Breaking Feat with Seven-Foot Halibut – Breaking International

Paul Stevens, a British fishing guide and enthusiast, has etched his name into the annals of fishing history with a remarkable catch that stands as a testament to both his skill and the bountiful waters off the coast of Norway. The remarkable catch, a colossal seven-foot halibut, has not only secured his place in fishing lore but has also set a new record for the largest halibut of its kind ever captured by a British angler. Paul, who leads fishing trips to Norway as a guide and destination manager for Sportquest Holidays, usually dedicates his efforts to overseeing and assisting other anglers. However, during a recent excursion, fate had other plans. Venturing out with friends, Paul found himself on the other end of the fishing line, embarking on a journey that would culminate in an unprecedented achievement. Off the coast of Norway on July 6th, Paul’s determination paid off as he successfully reeled in a gargantuan halibut measuring an astonishing seven feet long. Awe reverberated through the air as he weighed the fish, an astonishing 400 pounds, equivalent to 28.5 stones. It was then that he realized he had accomplished something truly extraordinary: securing the distinction of capturing the largest halibut of its species ever known to be caught by a British angler.
