You need something like that to kill large halibut, since they can get up to 300 pounds and can hurt people in the boat if you let them flop around.
It could also be the equivalent of one of those "ozark tire thumpers," although those reportedly have a lead center, and I don't see evidence of that in your club (I calculated the density from the figure you gave, and it's within the realm of solid wood).
Best,
