We came across the heaviest fish in the world during our works with stranded large animals in the Azores. Have a look at this magestic 3,60m tall and 6000 pounds fish.


This finding was covered internationally, from NY Times to the arab world, it turned out to be a Guiness Record. Although we do hope a larger animal can be found one day.
