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.

No way that thing is 55 feet long unless its really cold out there when they took that picture. In case you missed the first joke... maybe erect
it's 55. But yea, looks like a whale, possibly just the blubbery weird part since that is most likely to remain and floats. Hence we do not
recognize the pigment and skin. But it's not 55 feet for sure. Anyone ever wonder what whale steak would look like... it would sure be yaba daba
doo style for sure. Eating things is cool.
