Japanese fisherman reels in massive fish caught off the coast of Japan

Fisherman reels in SUPER-FISH off the coast of Japan near Fukushima plant
  • Japanese fisherman Hirasaka Hiroshi put pictures of his catch on Twitter
  • The terrifyingly large wolffish measured almost two metres in length
  • Hirasaka is pictured grimacing as he struggles hold the massive creature
Caught off the coast of the island of Hokkaido, he said: 'It was worth flying to [Hokkaido] twice within three months. This guy is super cool,' the Daily Star reported.

Located just north of the mainland, Hirasaka said he landed the massive catch in the island's waters near Russia's coast.

Wolffish commonly live in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. As deep sea dwellers, they feed on smallers creatures along the ocean floor.

The creature has developed a reputation due to its size and fearsome appearance and one type of the species featured on the Animal Planet series River Monsters.

Normally growing to about 1.2m in length, the wolffish Hirasaka caught measured close to two metres, The Sun reported.

The catch may also add substance to Japanese fishermen's concerns over the effects the Fukushima nuclear accident is having on local fish populations.


The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant meltdown was triggered by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in 2011.

The earthquake knocked out nuclear plant's cooling system, causing three reactor cores to melt and spew radiation into the ocean.

The earthquake - which claimed the lives of 18,500 people - caused what was the largest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl meltdown in 1986.

In the years since, fish have been caught in the waters nearby with as much as 2,500 times the legal safe radiation limit.

So many people die in Asia it seems. Didn't something just happen over there recently where a bunch of people died. Could you imagine 18k people just dying one year here in America!?!? All at once, I mean.
