The fish, according to NOAA, was caught in mid-March when the Kodiak Enterprise was trawling at about 350 fathoms in the Pribilof Canyon at night just south of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea. They estimate the rockfish was 90 to 115 years old. (AP Photo, NOAA Fisheries, Karna McKinney) Friday, April 06, 2007
