What better way to spend a weekend off other than to go on a fishing trip with your brother? This is exactly what Noah and Jacob Thompson decided to do but to their surprise, the fishing trip was quite eventful.

The avid fishers discovered a really strange looking and long fish that washed ashore and instead of simply running away, they decided to do something unusual. They helped the strange fish get back in the ocean.
The Brothers
There are many fun ways to spend a free weekend and going fishing is one of them. The great thing about fishing is that you don’t just relax, you also get to see amazing sights and maybe if you are lucky even catch some fish.

Noah and Jacob Thompson have many things in common since they are brothers but most important, they share the same favorite hobby. Their father used to take them fishing since they were little and the brothers are keeping the tradition alive.
Finding The Right Spot
Everyone who has gone fishing at least once knows that the most important thing about fishing is not to have the best fishing rods or baits, but to find the right spot.

The two brothers read about a special fishing spot in a magazine and they decided to visit it. To their surprise, something weird was waiting for them on the beach.
Unusual Species
As the two brothers were looking for a spot to place their fishing rods, they saw this strange fish on the beach.

Even though this was the first time that Noah and Jacob were seeing something like this, they didn’t run away and instead, they decided to help out.
From The Deepest Ocean
It didn’t take long for one of the brothers to realize what kind of fish it is. Noah took a picture of the fish and asked one of his friends who is more knowledgeable about the underwater world about it.

To their surprise, the friend said that this is a deep water fish who usually lives close to the bottom of the ocean. What was it doing on the beach? The underwater beast that Noah and Jacob found is called a juvenile oarfish.
Above Water
The interesting thing is that this type of fish never comes to the surface.

![Above Water](/fp/static/_m_8d20e13d-c6de-473e-8fd5-61a0e520d966.jpeg)
A strong wave or a current probably brought it close to the beach and the fish washed ashore.
A Long Fish
What’s really strange about the juvenile oarfish is that it can grow up to 8 to 9 feet! Can you imagine that?

If you Google the juvenile oarfish you will find out that this fish is behind many local legends.
The Mythical Beast
Back in the day, people believed that this fish is a mythical beast which has enough power to drag a boat beneath the waves.

Even though most people would run away at the sight of such a fish, Noah and Jacob decided to do the exact opposite and help out.
Little Scary
One of the brothers got closer to the juvenile oarfish and grabbed it by its tail. He was ready to drag it into the ocean.

![Little Scary](/fp/static/_m_7c961c0c-1596-49bb-9492-2739a58a653b.jpeg)
Noah and Jacob are saying that even though they handled this situation with ease, they can’t deny the fact that they were a little scared at first.
The Rescuer
Who can blame? After all, the juvenile oarfish looks really strange.

![The Rescuer](/fp/static/_m_f0f7e644-c7d9-4317-999d-68a38cd9dc94.jpeg)
We have to give praise to Noah and Jacob for not leaving the juvenile oarfish on the beach.
Going Back Home
There’s no way for the juvenile oarfish to find its way back into the ocean and without their help the juvenile oarfish would have suffered a grim faith.
![Going Back Home](/fp/static/_d_19a98405-223d-4c7d-b289-88f01938044e.jpeg)
![Going Back Home](/fp/static/_m_19a98405-223d-4c7d-b289-88f01938044e.jpeg)
Even though the juvenile oarfish is far away from its home, let’s hope that it somehow manages to find its way back to the depths of the ocean.
Extraordinary Species To Spot
If there is something that we can be sure about, then it has to be the fact that no one would want to meet such a terrifying fish during their trip to the beach.

Tough Guys
Good thing that Noah and Jacob didn’t get too scared.

If there is one activity that could be considered more fun than fishing, then it has to be deep diving.
