The article mentions it was caught on a Barbie Betty-Ready fish setup with 4lb line and a marshmellow. Don't be fooled by cr@ppy evidence Richard.

Try catching some shallow water rockfish. It's a lot different than catching them deep.

That is one honkazoid rockfish! Not only is it huge--it's a 100 freakin' years old! I never thought fish lived that long! This fish obviously watched its cholesterol level. . .avoided trans fat food. . .gave up smoking at an early age. . .drank in moderation. . .and never was stuck in freeway traffic. . .never suffered high blood pressure from working at a stressful job that would drive even St. Teresa to doing bong hits on her lunch hour. . .never had to suffer under a leader with the brain capacity of a pinhead anchovy. . .and never had to live in a society where Paris Hilton's latest escapades are more important than the ongoing genocide in Darfur
