McGuire, 76, of Santa Ana, California, caught the 95-inch fish while on his annual fishing excursion to Alaska with friends over the July 4 holiday.
McGuire and three of his friends were nearing the end of their nearly seven-hour day fishing with the Alaskan Anglers Inn fishing charter in Glacier Bay, Alaska, on July 3, when McGuire felt the bite.
“It took about 40 minutes in all,” McGuire said. “I put a lot of pressure on him to get him up as fast as I could.” |
