Meet Henry Liebman, an insurance adjuster from Seattle who reeled-in a fish estimated to be at least 200 years old.. Liebman thought he would return home with his catch to cheers, however, wildlife lovers have blasted the angler on social media.
Henry Liebman you’re a pig. You KILLED a 200 year old LIVING thing! WTF why is this being celebrated,” Penny Lee Brown tweeted.

Liebman’s catch has beaten the previous record which was a 75 years old guppie fish..
“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,” Mr Liebman told the Daily Sitka Sentinel. Another tweet said: “So a fisherman caught a 200 year old fish. It managed to last for 200 years & they’re all happy about catching it. *sigh*”.
I think a catch and release would have been in order for this old school fish, more than I can say for Liebman! What do you think?
