Just look at the size of this thing!

This is the moment one of the world’s heaviest bony fish greets a gobsmacked family off the coast of Wales.

Sililo Martens couldn’t believe his eyes as he recorded the encounter, as people on his fishing trip discussed whether they could see a shark or a dolphin lurking under the water. But as it got a bit closer a passenger can be heard saying: ‘No it’s not, look how big that is, that’s a huge fish.’ Silio was on his way back from a fishing trip with his two sons, his friend Ollie and his boy when they saw the giant creature near Mumbles Pier, Swansea.He stopped one of his sons from jumping in in case it was a shark, but they later found out it was an ocean sunfish.Also known as Mola Mola, they are harmless to humans but are often curious and swim up to divers.
