Villagers in the Philippines were having fish all week after a man landed this enormous moonfish.

A wooden trawler snagged the whopping 30kg sea fish last Wednesday afternoon in Atimonan, the Philippines.

Angler Joseph Bautista, 40, is pictured in the video carrying the pink-coloured fish ashore on his shoulders.

Its huge eyes are bulging as it looks at the assembled crowd and its bright orange fins can be seen flickering.

Joseph said: ''I'm not taking this fish to the market to sell. This is going home with me for my family to eat.

''It's quite special to catch something so big and beautiful so we will enjoy sharing it with friends.''

The moonfish, also known as Opah, are large colourful fish found mainly in warm and tropical oceans.
