Anglers with a special arrangement to go ice fishing Sunday on the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec caught a 109-pound Atlantic halibut that took them four hours to land.

Remi and Mathieu Aubin needed help from two other fishermen as the hole needed widening to land the behemoth fish, the first of the season caught under the Atlantic Halibut Winter Fishing Project for Scientific Purposes
 

The fishermen were allowed to ice fish in the fjord under the program whereby the fishermen agree to submit their catches to scientists for recording biological data from the fish, as previously reported by For The Win Outdoors.

Recreational fishing for the species is otherwise prohibited, as Atlantic halibut are protected as an endangered species under the International Union for Conservation of Nature, according to OutdoorLife.
