An amateur fisherwoman may have unexpectedly broken a world record while angling for rockfish in Oregon on April Fools' Day.
Tillamook, Oregon, resident Rebecca Jones began her Monday morning by digging for sand shrimp, according to an April 5 news release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. She told officials that she began fishing and hunting a few years ago, and described herself as self-taught. |

"[She] then headed to Barview Jetty near Garibaldi hoping to catch rockfish for dinner," state officials explained.
"Instead, she hauled in an eel-like fish she’d never seen before, the monkeyface prickleback." |
