A plus 700-pound bluefin tuna caught off Boynton Beach earlier this week could get the anglers who caught it “canned.”

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Fisheries spokeswoman Kim Amendola confirmed that the fish has been confiscated by law enforcement and that her agency is investigating the fishy business surrounding the tuna in cooperation with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

A German angler more than fulfilled his wife’s request that he bring home some halibut this week when he pulled a 427-pound halibut from the Barents Sea, off the coast of Norway.

Christian Johannsen, 45, of North Friesland, Germany, was fishing with friends when he hooked into something big. Four hours later and with the help of two buddies, he landed what turned out to be an eight-foot long, 427-pound goliath of a halibut.

“Every fisher dreams about this, it’s like winning the lottery,” Johannsen told The Local.

Johannsen’s fish is a monster but it's still pretty far from the world record: a 540-pound halibut was caught off the Norwegian coast.

Michael Eisele of Kiel Germany caught this enormous 103-pound cod while fishing off the coast of Norway. If the catch is approved by the International Game Fish Association, it will break the current world record (which has stood for 44 years) by about 5 pounds.

 Eisele battled the fish for half an hour before two of his friends finally helped him haul it into the boat, according to the Daily Mail. The cod measured more than 5 feet in length.

They caught a… a… What did they catch?

Fishermen off the coast of County Waterford (Ireland) were surprised to trawl up a scorpionfish last week. Surprised because the fish is native to the warm waters of the Mediterranean and not the ice-chilled deep waters of the UK.
