After catching the fish, Phuoc used a robe to hold it and brought it back alive to Cai Tau Ha Town.


The fish is pinkish white and 2.5 m long.


Many traders have offered Phuoc up to VND700,000 (US$35) for every kg of its meat but he turned them down.


Phuoc is expected sell the fish for as much as VND1 million (US$50) a kg.


In 2009, Phuoc caught a similar giant barb which weighed 160 kg and sold it for more than VND100 million (US$5,000).
