Bigmouth Buffalo.. otherwise known as the Rosie O’Donnell fish.
Give a man a fish....Teach a man to fish......
Before I would fully believe this heretofore unknown longevity of the Bigmouth Buffalo, I’d question the veracity of the carbon dating method employed.
Well, they do have omega 3 6 and 9 coursing through their veins.

But how do they taste?
That’s a pretty fish.
I caught a fish that was so old, it had a musket ball in it from where Boudreaux’s great great grandfather had gone fishing.
Wow. Have planned a “float down the river and fish” trip on the Buffalo River in Middle Tennessee for next month. It is a beautiful small river that feeds the Duck, and then the Tennessee River. The river is named for the Buffalo fish. We plan to do a 2 day float and camp overnight for a 21 mile float. Looking forward to it.
I read here about 400 year old Arctic sharks.
It’s a mammal, but Bowhead whales have an average lifespan of over 200 years. Back in the 80’s, Alaskan wildlife biologists discovered stone harpoon points embedded in a freshly killed whale near Barrow.
When I was younger, one of my friends had a parrot that they kept inheriting. If memory serves me, the bird was originally acquired by by friend’s great grandfather. They didn’t know how old the parrot was, but someone in the family estimated it at about 135 years.
The rule for pets should be nothing that is stronger than me or will outlive me.
While I am not saying it isn’t rare, fish that live over 100 years on average are known... Orange Roughy for example are known to live up to nearly 150 years.
