Lily Hornish, a 10-year-old Boise native, hooked a 330-pound halibut while fishing with her family in Alaska last Saturday, the Idaho Statesman reports. It took nearly an hour, and the help of everyone on the boat, to pull the fish on board. According to her dad, Bill Hornish, Lily has been an enthusiastic angler since she was 4 years old.
