An absolutely massive fish was caught by local fisherman in Canada’s Northwest Territories earlier in the month.

Hauled in by members of the Deline First Nation Tribe, the fish was caught by using a gill net as the fishermen were sustenance fishing.  That being said, their catch would have been placed in the record books had it been caught via rod and reel.

The current record is a 72-pound lake trout established 22 years ago.

The fishermen attempted to revive the fish and release it, but unfortunately it had already died.
