“I’ve seen a lot of fish, and a lot of big fish, but I’ve never seen anything like it,” he says. He estimates that the unidentified fish was between 1.5 to 1.7 meters long – or approximately 5-feet-long.
Riley Lindholm shared pictures of the fish on a public forum in order to identify it.

“There’s a fair Ьіt of ѕрeсᴜɩаtіoп – it could have been a cod, could have been a groper, and one guy I think might have nailed it when he said it was what they call a tripletail,” said Mr Lindholm to ΑBC News.
When Mr Lindholm returned to the beach the next day, the fish was gone.
