Absolute BS!!

A recreational angler caught one over sixty pounds something like five years back and it was estimated to be around hundred years old. This fish is third smaller, nice catch but probably no more seventy years old.

Rockfish grow old. If you don't like that fact don't fish them. The enviros put out this shit to get people to back their anti-fishing crusades. Don't buy into it.

This as a deepwater fish mostly caught in a 1000 to 2000 feet of water by the commercials supplying companies like Redlobster with filet dinners. If people don't want to eat mature fish they can start there.
