A Nigerian man reportedly captured a Blue Marlin Fish worth $2.6 million and ate it with neighbours.
The capturing of the fish wasn’t the source of shock for many but rather what the man and his village folks decided to do with it.
Social media users have been thrown into a state of shock with the news.
Some social media users didn’t blame the man as he had no idea that it was worth that much.
High-stakes world of tournament sports fishing generates a lot of money and in 2018, it included a head-spinning $904, 000 payout for the biggest tuna, a $924, 000 prize for the largest blue Marlin and the $2.6 million mega-payout for the largest white marlin reeled in.
Besides their recreational and commercial value, Bluefish are an important part of the Estuary’s food web.
