New Hampshire boy, 13, reels in 177-pound halibut while deep-sea fishing that may be a world record

HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire teenager on a deep-sea fishing trip this week hauled in a 177-pound (80 kilogram) Atlantic halibut, a fish so big that it weighed more than him and could be a world record.

Jackson Denio, a 13-year-old from Hampton, New Hampshire, was fishing about 100 miles (161 kilometers) off the New England Coast on Cashes Ledge Monday morning when he caught the fish.
