200 Year Old, 40 lb Fish Caught In Alaska!

This is really shocking, who knew fish could live so long? I sure didn't. Henry Liebman went fishing in Alaska this past weekend and caught the oldest fish ever caught since records were being kept. He caught a shortraker rockfish. Tests will have to confirm the age of the fish for sure. According to the article they do it by counting the age rings in the ear bone. WOW! Who knew fish had ears, let alone ear bones. hahahaha If this fish is confirmed to be the oldest one ever caught, it will replace the previous record of 115 yrs from 2007. Henry is planning on having his fish mounted. Good luck Henry I hope your fish wins the new record.
