Fisherman stunned to reel in giant, rare sea creature in viral video: ‘WTF is that!?’

It was the belle of the slime-ball.

A fisherman — who happens to be a woman — elicited eeews and aaahs online after catching a mondo 11-pound sea slug off the coast of South Korea, which she captured in a video with 20 million views online.

“We have never seen such a huge one,” Tatiana Lyu, the angler who bagged the mammoth mollusk last month, told Jam Press.

She and her crew had reportedly sunk a bait bag and were reeling it in when they noticed the supersize slimebag clinging to the end of the line.

In the footage, the team is seen pulling in the line with the gargantuan gastropod hanging on, causing bystanders to shriek in surprise like something out of a sci-fi thriller.

The peculiar quarry made waves online with one viewer likening it to “whale vomit.”

“That looks nasty and slimy. Barf,” exclaimed another, while a third wrote, “WTF is that?”

“You just KNOW they’re gonna eat it!” fretted another.

Thankfully, the sea slug was released unharmed to the ocean.

“I think I’ve seen this before...”

Imagine what you can catch when you use kimchi as bait.

Be nice to post a photo or two, but that’s asking too much these days of these posters.

“You just KNOW they’re gonna eat it!”

I’ve spent decades wondering around in the woods. I found a pheasants back mushroom once. It was the only one I had ever seen and I ate it, lol.

“We have never seen such a huge one,” ...
