I bet she went fishing just for no good reason at all.

River Monsters did a show on people in Alaska disappearing while fishing.

Upshoot was they were hooking into Halibut, big ones, who pulled them in and down. I suppose the treacherous currents did the rest. Evidently Halibut are known to be fighters.

I love it. The fishing G-ds are often kind to the young. ;-)

“That thing is monstrous.”

Yes. 333 lbs. vs what, 100 lbs conservative for the girl? A 10-year old girl. OK. Sure. (cough)

When asked why she liked fishing instead of playing with dolls she replied,

“I just like to do it for the halibut”...

Good size!
Congratulations, young lady!
I remember all the flounder I caught as a boy from the Cape Cod Canal, and the fluke and sole from a jetty from the Connecticut shore into Long Island Sound.

Happy eating, folks!
