Jackson Denio

Jackson Denio is a 13-year-old fisherman from Hampton, New Hampshire, who recently made headlines by catching a massive 177-pound Atlantic halibut off the New England coast, a feat that could set a new junior world record. Standing 5-foot-9 and weighing 120 pounds, Jackson's extraordinary catch has garnered attention for both its size and rarity, as halibut of this magnitude are typically found in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. His experience on the fishing trip, which included a thrilling 30-minute fight with the fish, has inspired him to pursue further fishing adventures.
