An insurance adjuster from Seattle, Henry Liebman, caught a 39-pound shortraker rockfish in Alaska that may be 200 years old.
The Daily Sitka Journal first reported the record-breaking catch, which was then picked up by Yahoo! News.
Shortraker rockfish are common in the Alaskan waters, where Liebman caught the 41-inch-long bottom-dweller. The fish are "believed to be one of the longest-lived of all fish in the northeast Pacific,"according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A lab still needs to confirm the age of the fish, but chances are good that it beats the current record for oldest shortaker of 175 years old.
