An insurance adjuster from Seattle, Henry Liebman, caught a 39-pound shortraker rockfish in Alaska that may be 200 years old, according to Yahoo!

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.
