COX's Bazar, Bangladesh - On Monday morning, a group of fishermen captured almost 300 maunds (11,100 kg) of fish in a single throw of the net, earning them Tk 600,000 ($6,988 U. S. Dollars).

The news of the massive harvest spread, and locals flocked to Shah Pari Island's western beach to behold the cornucopia of fish caught with a single cast of the net.
