Detroit’s Mike Martin got the surprise of his life while fishing on Lake Saint Clair when he reeled in a giant goldfish. That’s right, a goldfish!
The fish is measured at 15 inches long and weighing three pounds! When Martin caught the beast, he didn’t know what to do with the creature. He called his dad for help and his dad advised him to put the fish in a bucket and take it home.
Probably once someone’s pet, the fish was likely freed when it outgrew its bowl. Despite its shocking size, it’s probably not the largest goldfish ever found since there is a 16-inch goldfish caught by a young boy in Britain.
