A woman caught an "alien slug" while fishing

An unusual catch has amazed fishermen in South Korea. A giant sea slug weighing more than 4 kg was caught on the hook.

The unusual mollusk was discovered after fishermen threw in a bag of food and tried to pull it out, only to find that the fat, heavy slug had swallowed the bait. The video was shared by Tatyana Liu, who recently caught the "monster".

"We have never seen such a huge creature," said the woman, who is an avid fisherman.

The giant sea slug was caught on July 27 off the coast of South Korea, not far from the shore. The creature, believed to weigh at least 4.5 kg, caused a stir online due to its enormous size and strange appearance.

"Wow! I've never seen anything so big. Amazing", "Looks like whale vomit", "Please don't eat it", "It looks disgusting and slimy. Gross", - wrote social media users.

The slug was carefully removed and released after being caught, and the fishermen themselves continued their day of rest.
