Yup...

The world-record fish was taken off Nova Scotia in 1979, measuring 13' long and weighing 1,496 pounds.


That would be 132"... Haven't heard anything on this fish today. Where did they land with the fish? Any pics? Not pinning this on you, but maybe need to pull out the BS flag on your right hand man's friend...

Yup, you guys are right on the money.
I checked with my buddy and the skipper or his wife fat fingered the text. I guess it was more like 113" +/- and dressed out at 702#.
They were in over 500 feet of water, so probably around the Ups and Downs. Pic will hopefully attach
