Last week, a simple, walk for two brothers turned out to be what was once in a lifetime experience which was like being in the right place at the right time.
These brothers were named Jacob and Noah who were fishermen and were actually enjoying their vacation on a beach with their family. The beach was at the Baja’s East Cape. While walking on the beach, these brothers saw something sparkling and moving in the water a hundred feet ahead of them.
Noah said, “We noticed a creature as we were cruising down the beach on a four-wheeler. My brother was walking and then he had his head in his hands as he screamed because he knew exactly what that sparkling thing was.”
Jacob identified the creature, which was 9 to 10 feet in length to be an oarfish. This creature is a real mystery that resides at a depth of nearly 3300 feet and can grow up to almost 56 feet.
Jacob said, “It was a really strange creature and it is easy to make sense as to where the folklore about fishes came from. The thing seemed in essence to be a sea monster. I cannot imagine myself to be bumping into a real big one.”
Although it was rare, the oarfish was still alive.
Oarfishes that end up near the beach tend to die. A dying oarfish has their scale marking fade away rather quickly but this one didn’t. It indicated that it had arrived on shore not more than a few moments.
Jacob said, “The thing was alive as its mouth was moving and was gasping for breath.”
Jacob knew that he had to save it and he tried to revive it.
Noah said, “My brother picked him up and took him to the water where we took some photos of it. We really wanted to see it swim and live.”
After a few minutes of being in the water, the fish finally started to move again and it slowly swam away into the deep waters.
Noah said, “This was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and especially with my brother. I will never forget it for my whole life.”
