A 55 feet long fish has been found in the seashore of Guangdong, China.
According to a local newspaper, the big fish weighs at least 10,000 pounds.
Hwang, a 66-years-old fisherman living in the near area, said he has never seen anything like this in his whole life and that the fish was tied with ropes when it was first found.
Many people have flocked to see this strange specimen since its discovery, although its rotting corpse already emits a foul smell.
The people living in the area think the fish was caught by some fisherman but was abandoned due to its heavy weight, hence the ropes.
Due to the serious decay of the fish's body, it is almost impossible to identify the species, according to the local newspaper.
The fish was discovered on April 25th.
According to a local newspaper, the big fish weighs at least 10,000 pounds.

Sure, but a dead whale isn’t much to of a thread, unless they blow it up. I go with giant made in china fish that lost a battle with Trump.

According to the bible Jonah was swallowed by a fish and to some skeptics this proves that the bible is in error because fish are not large enough and that only a whale is large enough and whales are not fish.
