According to the fisherman, the trophy was obtained during spearfishing, which he has been doing for about seventeen years. But such a large fish he caught for the first time.

The guys are members of the Belarusian Society of Hunters and Fishers, the Society of the Federation of Underwater Sports.

- I want to note that this is not poaching, all documents for fishing are available, we catch only in those places where it is allowed. The catch rate is not violated. I didn’t even think that there were such huge catfish in Shchara. Fish usually were caught of 10-15 kg, explained Yuri Zdanchuk.

Fishermen divided the prey in half. Part of the huge fish was given to friends.
