Catch white shark close to Quy Nhon beach

The shark was caught in the net of Phan Van Dau fishermen, about 300 m away from Quy Nhon coast. White sharks are considered the most aggressive species.

'At 4 in the morning, I went to collect the cage net and found the shark caught the net. Seeing that he was very healthy, knowing that he would catch it alone would be very dangerous, so I had to call some more people to take the boat out to escort it to shore , 'Mr. Dau told VnExpress.net.

After being brought to shore about an hour, the fish died. Mr. Dau brought his fish home to sell for 10 million dong. Yesterday afternoon, there were traders paying 6 million VND but the family did not sell.

The fish is about 1.5 m long, weighs more than 50 kg, the two sides have 5 pairs of open gills - a characteristic of the white shark. Sharks captured previously in this sea are gray and much heavier. White sharks are considered the most aggressive shark.

Some experienced fishermen said that this white shark is pregnant at the time of birth, so it is very likely that on the way to near shore shores, the net is caught.
