A four meter long ribbon fish, or oarfish was captured China.

The fish weighs at 18.5 kilograms and has a 0.7 meter long tentacles .
The longest oarfish ever known was 15 meters long and at a weight of 45 kilogram. Because they live deep under the water, it is hard to catch a glimpse let alone capture the fish.
