Boston Fisherman thinks he's caught Moby Dick

Sunfish not Moby Dick (Video)

A Boston fisherman has filmed his over-excitement when encountering a rather large fish.

The size of the animal causes a wild reaction from the fisherman, whose mind races from calling the aquarium to thinking he's caught Moby Dick in the space of a few minutes.

 

Watch the overreaction here:

 

The fish was actually a Sunfish, a large species that can grow to weigh near 1,000 kilograms, with a diet consisting mainly of jellyfish.

Captain Ahab he is not, however at least the Boston fisherman can keep dreaming of his white whale.
