The enormous body swung on the hook, dripping with water, as a curious crowd of onlookers gathered around.

The fish was already dead and showed no signs of life, but nobody seemed to care. The fishermen were glowing with excitement — a catch like this was the luck of a lifetime.

They laughed, posed for photos with their prize, and someone joked that with a fish that size, they could feed an entire town.

Tourists, amazed by its size, came closer, filmed, took selfies, and children tried to touch the huge gray body, coated in a thick layer of slime.
