On January 3, at Pozo de Alonso Beach, near the town of Claromeco in Argentina, fisherman Gaston Zucco caught a large copper shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus) that weighed approximately 187–198 lb (85–90 kg) and measured 8.2 in length.. What's The Jam writes about this.

To catch this sea giant, Gaston, a native of the city of Tandil, cast gear 1,017 feet (310 meters) into the sea using a drone. He used mullet as bait. Experienced boatmen suggested to the fisherman the ideal place for catching large prey.

Thanks to the south wind and high waves, fishing conditions were ideal. Some time after the cast, Gaston felt a powerful blow and began a fight with the sea predator, which lasted about an hour.

When the fisherman managed to pull the shark ashore, he was stunned by its size. After a short photo session and marking of the animal, Gaston and his partner Gabriel Munoz released the shark back into the sea.

Social media users are actively discussing what happened. One commenter said: " Others expressed concern: " The stress for the animal and possible injury from the hook make this pointless."

The publication notes that copper sharks are listed as a vulnerable species in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. More than 50 species of sharks live in Argentine waters, many of which suffer from overfishing due to late maturation and low numbers of offspring..

However, in some regions, including the province of Buenos Aires, the capture of sharks is permitted, provided that the fishing is carried out with a fishing rod and the animals are returned to the sea.

“I feel excited, tired and happy,” Gaston shared his impressions after fishing.

Focus previously reported that a woman was surprised by the return of her missing cat after 5 years. Janine Yarrell thought she had lost her pet Bubba forever.. However, social networks helped the woman find her beloved cat, who, as she suggests, had been living on the street all these years.

It also became known that resourceful alligators “lure people to their deaths” by imitating drowning people. Residents of Balinese, where the video was filmed, react to what is happening with irony, well aware of this unusual “strategy” of reptiles. The author of the video suggests that alligators may deliberately use such a trick.
