In Norway Catch and Release is getting more and more popular on hallibut and cod. This video show the fight of a smaller
130 lbs specimen. Specimen of 300 lbs are common up there, maybe due to the C&R practice.

Great stuff - awesome fish.
I'd eat the fish raw before I'd jump in the water to revive it. Why did he have to get in the water? Dominick
Great video! I need to bring one of those hali's home. I thought they were wearing exposure suits in case they accidentally got tossed in the frigid water. :-\

To support the fish until sufficient water had washed through its gills and it had revived enough to be released.
