In early morning of September 16, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huong went to the field to collect fish from do (a traditional device to catch fish) that she placed the night before. Returning home, she discovered a big loach in the basket.


The loach is black, 10kg in weight and 1.6m long. Some people are willing to pay VND5 million ($250) for the giant loach but Huong did not sell. Many people flocked to Huong’s house to see the loach.
