57 kg and 163 cm Halibut from Ulrich Arnholdt

















This morning Ulrich Arnholdt caught 57 kg Halibut (163 cm long) on Bobby 5 from Sudureyri with his crew: Thomas Arnholdt, Hans Kolender, Arne Volkenborn and Markus Graemer. The Halibut took blue rubber fish on 80 meter deep and the fight took 45 min. The crew harpooned the Halibut when he came up to the surface of the sea. Then she went down again and in the second try they managed to gaff it in the boat. Well done boys and congratulations.
