The giant Piraruku turned simple kestrel fishing into an adventure. Two fishermen were dragging a net along a stream when they were attacked by a monster.

Out of nowhere, a six-foot arapaima jumped out of the small net. The men were helpless and the most they could do was scream in fear.

The adventure was recorded by the owners of the channel “Linares na Pesca”. Two fishermen enter a small stream with a homemade net. Usually small fish such as lambaris are caught.

Piraruku is bigger than a fisherman

But that day everything was different. At least three giant arapaima appeared out of nowhere and jumped into the net. The fear was so great that they both screamed. But they insisted on catching at least one.

However, the most they managed to do was catch the smallest of them, about half a meter in size. The creek is part of the fish farm property. They even tried to catch some of the larger ones, but ended up with a hole in the net.

There was a lot of sand for the fishermen’s sieve machine.
