La Baie fisherman catches massive Atlantic halibut
An ice fisherman in the Saguenay region had the catch of a lifetime on Saturday when he reeled in a 70-kilogram Atlantic halibut.
Charles Gagnon-Brassard went out for a typical day of ice fishing on the Baie des Ha! Ha! but he knew he'd made a big catch when a fish pulled his line with way more force than usual .

Gagnon-Brassard spent more than two hours struggling to reel it in.
 

He managed to reel it up to the fish hole five times, but each time, the fish decided it wasn't quite ready to be caught and plunged back down into the water.

"We are used to catching fish that are a maximum 10 to 12 pounds," Gagnon-Brassard said.
