- 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.

Kodiak jigs tock!!
Thank you!👊
i dont want tickets to the flab show....
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!
Actually the record was caught in Dutch Harbor in 1996 and weighed 459 pounds.
what rules did he break?
Ha ha Quentin! You got me but...I was a 190 pounder in my prime. That should count for something ha!
I would think the rule that was broke was he handed off the rod to someone else?
because that thing if you're going to keep it can hurt someone very badly halibut are pretty much ALL muscle
WHAT DID YOU USE FOR BAIT...
fishing
You want the blood to be pumped out before death, if you dont, you will destroy the meat with a fishy taste. This is one of the many reasons to make sure they are dead! obviously you have never caught a barn door. great job! nice fish!
Those large halibut are the breeding females.
I like this video it’s what memories are made of
Tony this is Quentin mulberry I know your not 190lbs
@mackrawDTP 40 lb. crappy by Da Yoopers. Seemed to fit the story well.
sick
did that guy look fat to u to......?
you hooked fought and landed it from your boat, that is rediculouse that they would not accept it as a record.
He was assisted. U can see he handed the rod off.
It's still a bigger fish....record is about size of the fish I dont care if it took 17 people to bring it in, a bigger fish is a bigger fish.
A Texas flounder....
It got lost in Alaska!😆
go
WHY DID YOU SHOOT IT! but cool lures
Really?! Wow, you've never been around a big fish....
Had that same questions asked on a charter; so we tossed a few big ones on deck and let them dance, until someone said "OWWW", then we explained broken ankles and legs.
@TravisW14k oh, nvm :)
thought the world record halibut was 375
Nope. It’s 420 now
You shoot the fish becuz if u dont when u pull them in the boat they r gunna raise hell
