This sounds like a fish story, and it’s one of the biggest ever.

A 76-year-old California man was on a fishing trip in Alaska when he reeled in what he calls the “catch of a lifetime.”

Jack McGuire says he was fishing with some friends when he got in a 40-minute-long battle with a fish that he knew was bigger than average.

“The moment I set the hook I hollered, ‘I got a big one!’” McGuire said. “We get in the back of the boat and we get in this battle.”..

After shooting and harpooning the fish, McGuire quickly realized that he caught one of the biggest fishes in history. When the fish landed, it weighed 482 pounds and was 95 inches long. The fish can’t be considered a world record, however, because the crew decided to shoot and harpoon it, and that goes against regulations.

    Teach a man to fish and he’ll catch a 482 pound fish. Something like that…

    the creep had better have thrown it back. If not, the next hook should go up his ass.
