A nine-year-old boy from New Jersey has earned some big bragging rights, after he landed a massive fish 10 times his weight on British Columbia’s Fraser River.
Kegan Rothman hooked the 272-kilogram sturgeon during a B.C. fishing trip with his dad. The boy says he struggled with the fish for two hours before he finally managed to reel it in.
“I felt like I was going to pass out,” he told CTV Vancouver. “I really didn’t think I was going to make it, but I actually did.”
Rothman and his father recorded their catch on camera, then released the fish back into the Fraser River.
