Reinhard Wuhrmann, a retired policeman, had no idea that his fishing trip would be such a triumph. He was incredibly lucky that day. He caught a giant halibut!
Ulrich Alstetter, boat skipper, said he was very proud to be a part of this incredible experience. By the way, the lucky fisher shaved his beard since his fish claimed a world record.The three men each took 24lb of halibut fillets home. They shared the rest of the fish with locals.
