Older perch that survived Borodino, the abolition of serfdom and the two world wars, caught in Alaska. Age of fish - about 200 years. The length of the planet's oldest bass - more than a meter, and the spring 17, 5 kilograms.
Continue quiet life in the depths of the Pacific Ocean perch gave American fisherman Henry Liebman. He made a special trip from Seattle to Alaska in order to go fishing. With a depth of about 174 meters, he fished a huge grouper, which was not only a giant but also long-lived.

Until today, it was considered the largest and old fish caught in the Pacific Ocean. The current catch yield about 200 years. Scientists say it could even emerge from the eggs in 1812.
