Two fishermen were out fishing for cockles when they came across a sunfish on a deserted beach.
The huge sunfish was found washed up 15 miles east of the River Murray mouth—a popular fishing and holiday destination in South Australia—in March 2019. Linette Grzelak, who posted a picture of the fish on social media after her partner returned home, wrote, “A sunfish found by my partner along the Coorong a couple [of] nights ago. I thought it was fake.”
