A 10-year-old boy was fishing with his father off Maatsuyker Island in Tasmania when he reeled in a record catch: a 194-pound (approx. 88-kilogram) bluefin tuna.

The fish measured in at 6 feet, 2 inches (1.9 meters) and is believed to be the largest southern bluefin tuna caught on a 24-kilogram (approx. 53-pound) line by someone under the age of 11.
