Accordingly, on February 16, the first day of Tet, a resident of Hien Son commune, Do Luong district, after burning incense at the ancestral temple, passed Lim bridge, in Hoa Thanh hamlet, Hien Son commune, and saw a fish floating up, so he called people to use electric shock to catch it.

The fish struggled and broke the electric net, then continued to hover around the same place. People continued to use other tools to catch it but failed. Since then, the fish has continuously surfaced and dived. Many people considered it a "divine fish" so no one dared to catch it anymore.

Witnesses whispered to each other that this was a strange fish because it only lingered in one area, while hundreds of people were surrounding it, but it still surfaced and dived.

According to observations, the fish weighed about 3kg, had a head similar to grass carp, and was black. People from Hien Son commune and neighboring communes spread the word and came to see the fish.
