Is the guy talking about 200 lbs of herring or a 200 lb. herring ? In any event, I think it's a fish tale.

The BC sport record is 320 lb caught at Langara.  So 200 lb wouldn't be unheard of.  Don't see too many of those nearby these days.

I'm referring the 320 lb record to halibut.

He was talking about a 200lb halibut, not herring.
