Bayelsa youths catch a very big fish reportedly worth over $20 million dollars

A video of some young people in Bayelsa State with a very enormous shark that is supposedly valued over $20 million dollars went viral on social media.

The young people can be seen in the video in big groups trying to get the already-dead fish out of the water as they are strewn over a river.

” The video, captioned “See how big that catfish caught in Bayelsa is! Biggest in the world?” depicts the dead fish being pushed from one end in the water until it is finally brought onto land by the youths

 Social media commenters asserted that the fish had an estimated value of $120 million shortly after the incident was captured on camera and went viral.

@kemmy_H1: “At this point it’s safe to assume that people aren’t aware that catfish can grow as much as it’s environment will allow it.”

@iamsamuelokon: “This isn’t a catfish ooo… I’ve seen this fish before in Eastern Obolo, Ibeno… Any part u cut-off grows back within 10-15 seconds… And I bet u that if the entire Bayelsa State gathers together, they can’t finish that fish.”
