Watch: Moment teen reels in 'once-in-a-lifetime' huge halibut

Jackson Denio, a 13-year-old from Hampton, New Hampshire, might have set a world record for the largest catch of a halibut.

The teen hauled in a 177lb (80 kg) Atlantic halibut after struggling for about 30 minutes to reel it in.

The family plans to file an application for the junior angler record for Atlantic halibut and one for the category that includes all fish.
