2.7-meter long moray captured

 

Ballroom dance instructor and hobby-fisherman Minoru Higa has caught a 2.7-meter long moray.

 

He said of the catch, “It was a hard work.”

 

Before being pulled in, it struggled to escape, and swam back and forth for 50 meters along the dock.

 

On the ground, the moray floundered, creating a clackety-clack noise that surprised the people gathered around.

 

A curious cat timidly approached.

 

Higa’s friend Terukazu Taketomi said with a smile, “We can create dishes for 100 people from the moray. We will hold a banquet tonight.”

 

It was carved up at the scene.
