WORLD RECORD HALIBUT! It Is But It Isn't

Back in the day while field-testing our original prototype Kodiak Custom Bottom Fish Jig, Tony "Famous" Davis hooked into a record class halibut that weighed 420 lbs. and exceeded the current I.G.F.A. world record at the time! But wait, there’s more!
Upon violating several I.G.F.A. rules while struggling to bring this barn door halibut to shore, our two-man team blew any chance of securing a spot for Kodiak Custom and our bottom fish jigs in the record books!
To top that off, we captured all of the action on film and this epic battle (World Record Halibut, It Is but It Isn’t) can be viewed right here on our channel! Watch to the end for a full report on the I.G.F.A. rules that we broke.
This video is a low resolution original cut. We will re-digitize our footage and make a high resolution modernized version soon.
Approximately 99.8792% of the fish in our videos are caught on Kodiak Custom Fishing Tackle and gear from our trusted colleagues in the industry.

When I caught this halibut I was testing out a proto-type Kodiak Custom Fishing Tackle Bottom Fish Jig that was still in the research and development faze. Needless to say, the jig turned out to be a winner. You can find them on the Kodiak Custom web site.

Haha thanks Kyle! Yeah that was quite an ordeal. At least we got it all on camera. Fish out buddy!

[@AtlasVanderbelt]

you hooked fought and landed it from your boat, that is rediculouse that they would not accept it as a record.
