Keith Richardson and his 14-year-old son Kaleb recently loaded up their boat, awesomely name "Who Dat", for a four day fishing trip off the Louisiana coast. What they didn't know is that it would turn out to be the trip of a lifetime because Kaleb eventually hooked an 835lb bluefin tuna!

Keith tells theadvocate.com their fishing trip was already off to a great start. They had already caught quite a few yellowfin tuna. They were on their way back to Grand Isle when they noticed some big fish jumping around at the Neptune, a deep-water oil platform. That's when it all started.

"He got the fish to the boat in 45 minutes on an ‘80’ (reel) with 100-pound test line. Kaleb knew the techniques and how much pressure to put on the fish. (Kaleb) is maybe 115 pounds, and I’ll put him up against any adult angler."

Check out the picture below of the massive catch!
