A Canadian fishing guide has shared photos of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with an elusive giant freshwater fish. The fishing expert caught the 200-pound (approx. 91-kilogram) beast quite by accident while hunting for largemouth bass.
Coel Forsyth, founder of Tightline Guide Service in Kenora, Ontario, was fishing on Ontario’s Lake of The Woods on May 21, 2020, when his fishing line started to drag. Shortly thereafter, the body of a large fish rose to the surface.
