An ultra-rare 'living fossil' beast, older than the dinosaurs, was caught by stunned fishermen.
A father and son duo got the shock of their lives when they reeled in a gigantic beast, as they admitted they had no idea what it was as they were pulling it into their boat.
The pair, from the United States, ended up snagging in the record-breaking fish during their annual Thanksgiving fishing trip on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Alabama, last November.
