According to the fishermen, the ship went out at dawn, and when it came to the above-mentioned area, it was only about 8 o'clock, the giant fish appeared and caught the net. When caught in the net, the fish has torn the rake net and struggled for a while, tired and staggered in the pile of wires and nets. The fish is too heavy so when the fishermen on the boat pick up the fish, they will break the towing crane, but thanks to the fish, the people will gather to use the rope to tie fish and drop it to the sea. The fish has a mouth like a shark and a back, like a whale, so everyone predicts enough for the name of the fish.

By the evening of July 11, when the tide was low, people could see the fish more than 5 meters long, heavier than a ton of black and cotton in the tail, which was located on the bank of the hamlet. When I arrived at the port, the fish died. Many old fishermen said that although it is a big fish, this is a kind of water fish (like sweet potato), not valuable. Because meat has a lot of water, people call it Sua Fish (like a jellyfish). Although the fish are big, they are not very aggressive. This fish used to be very abundant in the South China Sea, but it is very rare and rare.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa, Head of Tran De Fisheries Control Station, under the Department of Aquatic Resources Protection, Soc Trang Department of Fisheries, said that this is a type of shark (same type of shark and sperm whale - NV) but very gentle and rare fishermen catch on. This is also the first case of these fishermen returning to the port.
