Possilbe World record haddock Filleted

Capt Henry Duquette caught a 22 pound haddock at Stallwagon. the world record is 14.9 pounds IGFA. He filleted it before he knew about the record. What a bummer.

It is a pollock. The forked tail is a dead giveaway, the eyes are way too small for a haddock, and last but not least, a haddock has a dark lateral line.

No doubt its a pollack. The lateral stripe on a haddock is balck and the fish itself is silver. No nearly a record pollack.

Well, OK then.......

I have to ask it.....

What's the world record for a pollock???? (This is a serious question, not fuel for the pollock thread).
