350lb pound Grouper caught off the coast of Florida with just a hook and a line.
Biologist's at FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute that tested it believe it is 50 years old and is the oldest specimen in their collection.
USA Today article has additional information and also stated another thing the fisherman is catching is flack for killing the fish instead of returning it to the sea. It does seem sad that it would live to such a ripe old age, but it is an interesting find.
