One fisherman reeled in quite a bit more than he bargained for.
Borja Campos, 26, was spear-fishing with a friend off the coast of El Hierro in the Canary Islands when he caught a grouper that weighed more than 57 pounds (26kg) on Nov. 9.
Campos and his friend Oscar Fleitos, 22, were on a camping trip and decided to fish. But after about four hours without catching anything, they almost gave up.
That’s when Campos saw a slightly smaller, 13-pound grouper that swam into a cave, he told SWNS.

"Just before I got out, I spotted a small grouper heading into a cave, so I thought I’d follow it,” Campos said.
“That was when I saw a second grouper come from nowhere and follow it into the cave -- and my heart started beating really fast when I realized how big it was."

According to SWNS, Campos swam almost 60 feet (18m) below the surface of the water when he saw the fish and pointed a flashlight at it.

“The fish was staring straight back at me, and I couldn’t believe it when I managed to catch that precious 26kg grouper,” Campos said.
He added that internally, he was “screaming with happiness” when he saw the fish.

“Oscar started filming me as I brought it to the surface because he couldn’t believe how big it was either,” Campos said. “It was a wonderful day.”
