Brooker said that the monster was 40 feet in length, with a flat head, two eyes and a mouth which was opened for almost the entire time I saw it
THERE’S A “MONSTER” in Barbados’ waters, says fisherman Joel Brooker.
“Monster” was the word Brooker used to describe a “strange looking species” he and his fishing partner Wendel Bryan encountered on Monday. They were fishing three-and-a-half miles from Shower Bank area, which is south west of Hilton Barbados.
As he described the experience to the DAILY NATION, Brooker said that the “monster” was 40 feet in length, with a flat head, two eyes and “a mouth which was opened for almost the entire time I saw it”.
“When we saw it coming towards us, we thought it was a sunfish.
But when I saw the length and look of this thing, I thought it was an unusual submarine.
“So then I started preparing myself to run into the cabin but when I looked and saw small fishes on this thing, I told myself this thing is alive.
“I could see that it was not a whale, a shark, or anything that looked like it belonged to the sea family . . . so I said this thing is a monster. I wanted to know what this thing doing in Barbados’ water at three-and-a-half miles,” said the fisherman.
