According to a local newspaper, the big fish weighs at least 10,000 pounds.

Hwang, a 66-years-old fisherman living in the near area, said he has never seen anything like this in his whole life and that the fish was tied with ropes when it was first found.

Many people have flocked to see this strange specimen since its discovery, although its rotting corpse already emits a foul smell.
The people living in the area think the fish was caught by some fisherman but was abandoned due to its heavy weight, hence the ropes.
Due to the serious decay of the fish's body, it is almost impossible to identify the species, according to the local newspaper.
The fish was discovered on April 25th.

This is very interesting. I think that through out time we will find plenty of new large unknown species, the ocean is SO large who knows what else is lurking in the deep depths.

We can only guess what else swims around in the deep seas. This brings to mind the Megamouth. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megamouth_shark).
But we are quickly destroying the seas o they'll all soon wash up dead.
