Still, if you fish a 20lb fish out of the water, it takes considerably more effort than picking it up off of dry land...mostly because the fish is swimming and trying to get away from you.
that is true...
the fish would at least put up some resistance, because who would want to have a hook in their mouth...
but eventually, due to pain and exhaustion, the fish would give out...

He actually fished it, which is actually far more impressive than simply lifting it.http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e101/Soujaboy/Thor%20Feats/midgardserpent1.jpg

People always hype that feat, saying the serpent was "larger, and/or heavier than Earth".
Well by the looks of those scans, that statement is right...... and wrong.
The serpent is most certainly longer than Earth, but there is nothing depicted or suggested that the serpent might be the same mass or weight as Earth.... Unless there are additional scans of course.
I'm not trying to take away from that feat whatsoever..... Just clarifying a few things. 🙂

Have you ever tried lifting a hundred pound fish with your fishing rod? try it, or even put 100 pounds of weight in the water, tie it to your rod and try. Bet you can't lift it. Now go bench 100 pounds, come back and tell me which is easier. 🙂Correct, however irrelevant as you asked if Thor has ever lifted the Midgard Serpent in it's entirety.
Even your standard 10 or 15 pound test lines can not take the stress of lifting a 100 pound fish...that's why you use your drag to wear this fish out before picking him up with a net.
But, you are right....benching 100 pounds would be much easier..lol.

The resistance of the snake is whats more impressive than the size of the Serpent itself. The Serpent was causing enough pressure on the earth that the earth was being crushed. Similar actually to how a normal size Python kills it's prey.

Anyway.....arm wrestling matches are hard to call. It's not just about strength....leverage and heart play a lot into arm wrestling also. Did you ever see that movie with Stallone...can't think of the name of it...but, he competed as an arm wrestler. He put down a lot of bigger, stronger guys in that movie.
Sentry may be stronger..but it doesn't necessarily mean he would win an arm wrestling match

Boxing takes hearth yes, Arm wrestling ❌ not so much its about pure strength and a good technique.
