I was just thinking the other day about a friend of mine who was fishing for salmon. He had caught a couple silver salmon from the shore and had put a rope through their gills tied the end to a log and left them in the shallows. Much to his surprise a halibut had swam up grabbed hold of one of the fish and was attempting to pull it into a deeper section. My friend actually grabbed the 50lb fish and pulled it up on to the shore. It must be some sort of record for the largest halibut caught without fishing gear.
