A group of fishermen in Chile managed to net a rather spectacular catch in the form of a massive, 16-foot-long fish.Known as giant oarfish and sometimes referred to as the “king of herrings”, it usually thrives deep in the ocean and moves closer to the surface only when “sick, dying or breeding”, as the Daily Star put it.The specimen in question was caught off the coast of Chile, in the vicinity of the city of Arica.Images and videos of the oarfish being moved from the fishing boat to land via crane have since emerged on social media.
