Fisherman Holding Cobia Fish

Picture this. You’re swimming in the ocean, and you look over, and see a giant, six foot long fish.

It could happen.

An aquaculture accident released tens of thousands of a type of fish normally not found in the eastern Pacific, and they may be moving towards California.

Lance Orozco talks to an internationally known marine biologist who’s been tracking the fish, which appear to be heading our direction.
