A Florida teenager and his friends landed the catch of a lifetime when they pulled in a fish estimated to weigh about 250 pounds from the beach.

FOX 13 in Tampa reported that Isaac Francis, a 17-year-old junior at Riverview High School, was fishing from Turtle Beach in Sarasota, Florida on Saturday night.

While fishing, Isaac’s line went tight and the fight was on until he brought in a nearly 250-pound goliath grouper, according to his father Stu Francis.

The senior Francis told the station his son called the catch “lucky,” though he credited skill and years of experience fishing.

The fish have been known to reach 800 pounds in other areas and can stretch to over 8 feet in length.
