Fishermen caught a giant mackerel the size of a man

A fishing boat in the Chinese province of Shandong returned to the port with an unusually large catch - a giant Spanish mackerel, larger than a man. This was reported by the Global Times.

The fish reached 2.46 meters in length and weighed 134 kilograms. According to experienced fishermen, such a catch is very rare. Sailor Wang Weijun explained that Spanish mackerel is usually mined in coastal waters, and it rarely gains such an impressive mass. In order for the individual to exceed the mark of 100 kilograms, it takes more than ten years to grow in natural conditions - in the clear waters of the Yellow Sea.

The unusual trophy caused a lively discussion in social networks: users shared jokes and ironically that such a mackerel would surely impress any father-in-law in Shandong.
