Rare coelacanth fish caught in Indonesia

Two months ago Indonesian fisherman Justinus Lahama caught a fish so exceptional that an international team of scientists rushed here to investigate.

It is only the second time this type of fish has been caught in Asia. They are only known to be located around waters near eastern Africa. The species dates back to the time of dinosaurs, and hasn't changed much since then. The fish also has legs!

For all those who love to fish

I couldn't resist posting about this story about a 100 year old rockfish caught in Alaska. This rock fish might have been the oldest living creature in Alaska.

A commercial fishing boat hauled in what may have been one of the oldest creatures in Alaska — a giant rockfish estimated to be about a century old.

Check out the great photo in this news report.
