tlindsey beat you to it. But she truly is a remarkable fish at 90 years young
Wonder when they decided to name the fish.
Given the nature of the name and what it refers to.
I’m assuming it wasn’t named Methuselah from the beginning when it was supposed to be only five or so years.
Interesting to think about a fish out living it owner or even a couple owners.

Very neat. Just realized this fish is older than both the current, as well as the past four US presidents
