MUTANT FISH CAUGHT IN JAPAN?

A lot of you guys have been sending me a very strange picture lately. It shows a bizarre looking fish being held by a very happy man. Most of the links associated with it claim it is a photo of a mutant fish caught near the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.
The Picture was submitted by William Barboza,, Milky Suzuki, Teas, and Carl Gustav just to name a few.
It’s a weird looking fish for sure, but is this a real picture? Or is this just another internet click bait operation… that’s what Mr. Barboza and his friends want to know.
I went through all the articles, and it looks like It was caught by a man named Hirasaka Hiroshi who is famous for landing big crazy fish like this.

With a beast that big, I can understand why some people might think it is a mutant, but hey, what’s important here is the truth… which I have right here. But first, we need to follow the billschannel tradition - which means you have to yell out your answer before I tell you mine.
Just yell out real or fake, as loud as you can without getting grounded, right now..and go.
Ok, I’m glad we got that done. And now, let’s see what we have here for the official answer.
And it says, The photo showing the mutant looking fish off the coast of Japan near Hoikaido has been examined and it is determined to be… 100%... without a doubt… a big, fat, real photo of a real fish!
As it turns out, what we are looking at is a Bering Wolf Fish.
This kind of Wolf fish is pretty much limited to the North Pacific and are oftern caught in Japanese waters. They can weigh up to 15Kg or about 33 Lbs and usually grow up to 1.2 meters or 4 ft in length. But estimates on this one claim it is 2 meters or about 6 feet.
Wolffish are to be found on the ocean floors of the Atlantic and Pacific. They very rarely emerge from the depths. But some scientists are suggesting warming ocean temperatures might have something to do with their sudden appearance.
Now, The idea that this being some kind of mutant was cooked up by the news publications who reported on it. If you look closely at the headlines, they just say things like “mutant looking” and “alien like” but they never really say that for a fact. Within the body of all the articles it does reveal it is a real fish.
