Brad was shocked to see the size of the fish. “Look at the size of this thing,” he can be heard saying in the video while Brett struggled to heave the fish over the side of the boat. Their mysterious finding turn out to be a fish weighing 10 kilograms and was hoisted from a staggering 400 meters down. In the video, a shark was also seen trying to snatch goldfish from them.
Brett informed the viewers that it was his second venture into the deep-sea with his friend Brad. He said they were “searching for some true beasts” and they were “not disappointed.”
Brett also posted several photos of “the beast" on Instagram and asked if any of his followers could solve the mystery. However, he was left further confused after reading the comments. He was forced to ask a professional deep-drop fisherman to identify the rare fish who told him that it was a “Japanese Rubyfish.”

According to media reports, Japanese Rubyfish are found in the depths of over 300 meters. They were first caught in Japan. They are also found in Korea, Kenya, and South Africa.
