After a humungous 350-pound (approx. 159-kilogram) fish was caught by a fisherman off the coast of Florida, experts made an astounding discovery—the fish was estimated to be half a century old.

Fisherman Jason Boyll and a group of men laid claim to the impressive catch using the hook-and-line fishing method. Boyll celebrated his catch by posting on social media, “What a way to end 2019!”

“Absolute beast of a Warsaw grouper,” Boyll wrote. “Cheers to tight lines and good times in 2020 y'all. Fish onnnnnnn.”
