Australian reels in a massive 363-Kg marlin while on a fishing trip

It was a massive catch of 363-Kg - it was reeled in by an Australian of Perth while he was on a fishing trip. He had gone on a chartered fishing trip with friends off the northwest coast of Western Australia where he landed his catch.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 12 March 2016.

The man has admitted that reeling in such a huge fish was the most painful thing he had ever done. After he landed the catch, he had cramps in his fingers, and hamstrings, as well as his back.
Incidentally, even though his fish was bigger than the largest caught on record in Western Australia (it weighed 296-Kg), his catch does not qualify for the official record because two of his friends helped to keep him upright after he had battled with the fish for two hours. He had been locked into a harness but after about two hours his back gave way. He had no choice but to ask for help and lost the chance to get in the records.
