A group of youths in Bayelsa State caused a stir on social media after a video surfaced showing them with a very large shark reportedly worth over 20 million dollars.
In the video, the youths, in large numbers, are scattered around a river, attempting to maneuver the already dead fish out of the water.
The video, captioned “See how big that catfish caught in Bayelsa is! Biggest in the world?” depicts the dead fish being pushed from one end in the water until it is finally brought onto land by the youths.
Shortly after the video of the incident circulated online, social media users claimed the fish was worth about 20 million dollars.
Here are some reactions below:

@kolarwaheed: “I know this fish. Every part you cut of grows up back in less than 2min. This fish is worth around $22m.”
@kemmy_H1: “At this point it’s safe to assume that people aren’t aware that catfish can grow as much as it’s environment will allow it.”
@iamsamuelokon: “This isn’t a catfish ooo… I’ve seen this fish before in Eastern Obolo, Ibeno… Any part u cut-off grows back within 10-15 seconds… And I bet u that if the entire Bayelsa State gathers together, they can’t finish that fish.”
