What does one do with a 400 poinds fish unexpectedly caught on light tackle?

Where did it say light tackle? You can get big fish on light tackle, just not halibut and rays and the like
That's a nice catch, GOOD for him! He deserved that beer at the end....
A shame he didn't release it... A threatened species and at that age and size full of mercury and other heavy metals.
Probably put up an awesome fight though! I envy him that! :)

And the large ones are hens producing several million eggs a year.

Yes, reminds me of shark finning. Many Chinese believe shark fins are good for the health, while it instead ityhey're chock full of mercury. Sure its a part of their heritage and culture, but I think they can give up shark finning.......
