Fishing the deep waters of Prince William Sound in Alaska, Keith DeGraff hooked up to what he thought was a halibut, not the target fish of black cod. Turns out, it was neither.
DeGraff landed a shortraker rockfish that qualified as a state record, beating the old mark of 39.1 pounds caught in 2013 by Henry Liebman of Seattle, as reported by Saltwater Sportsman.
