“I knew it was abnormally big (but I) didn’t know it was a record until on the way back we looked in the Alaska guide book that was on the boat,” Henry Liebman told the Daily Sitka Sentinel.

The Sentinel reported that the 39.08-pound shortraker was caught on June 21, not only beating the previous record for the fish weight by a few ounces but perhaps also clocking in as the oldest.

    It was a shame to kill such a long-living fish as a trophy. He deserved to live a long life.

    I'm glad he's having it mounted.I'd hate to see anyone eat a 200+ year old fish.It doesn't sound very appetizing.It appears to be a shame to end the life of something that's been around that long.Possibly around before Lincoln was born in 1809.
