Disputing it out

So began the fight to get the giant fish to the surface.

– I had to put all my weight on the rod to try to tire it out. After fifteen minutes I had not managed to budge on halibut in all. I exited the body and used it my strength to keep the fish, telling Floro Larsen.

buddy Floro Larsen held the boat against the halibut to try to get it to the surface, while Floro Larsen held in rod. They were cautious so they drove over the line. After about one hour began Floro Larsen noting that large fish started to give up.
