British fishermen caught giant eels higher than 2-storey buses

On May 14, British fishermen on a fishing boat called 'Hope ' caught a giant eel that was over 6 meters long , more than the height of a double-decker bus.

This giant eel weighing up to 59.5 kg was caught by fishermen after accidentally entering their net in the waters off Plymouth.

The giant eel was caught by British fishermen

The fishermen on the 'Hope' ship immediately posted a photo of the giant eel on Facebook with the caption: 'The 59.5 kg eel landed on Plymouth market this morning! What a giant monster. '

The largest eel in the world caught by British fishermen so far was caught by Mr. Vic Evans in the seas outside of Brixham in 1995 and weighed 60.5 kg before being disembarked. Meanwhile, the weight of the newly caught eel before abdominal surgery is about 72.5 kg.

Mr. Pete Bromley, chairman of the Plymouth Fisheries Association said: 'This is a miracle of a coastal fishing vessel, because the current world record eel only weighs 60.5 kg before abdominal surgery. '.

The eel is longer than the height of a two-story bus

Bromley said the giant eel often lives around shipwrecks or coral reefs in the offshore waters and dies after spawning, so it is more likely that the eel is an unmarried female.

According to Bromley, the giant eel may have been able to sneak into coastal waters at high tide to find food, so it lures fishermen's nets, because despite their size and strength, they are not species are good at swimming.
