'Giant fish' thrashes onto shore in Hawaii, frightening tourists
Dramatic footage has surfaced showing a 300-pound marlin thrashing onto shore in Waikiki, parting a crowd of beachgoers. "GIANT fish scares tourists on beach," the Instagram page Oahu described Saturday. The scene is extraordinary because marlin are typically found offshore, far from beaches. ALSO: Yellowstone wolves 'left in dust' while trying to catch speedy pronghorn Oahu explained that the marlin 'crashed onto the shore possibly due to being struck by a boat or stressed from having a host of parasites.' The stranding event occurred in 2023 and, apparently, there was no effort to rescue the billfish. On the contrary, according to Oahu: 'It's reported that a group of local boys loaded the fish up and took it back home.' The footage is reminiscent of a bizarre scene that unfolded in Mexico in 2022, involving a massive elephant seal that hauled ashore in the Baja California Sur community of Mulegé, interrupting a family picnic.
