To catch this fish, Le Khanh Hoa (30 years old, residing in Nghia Hong commune, Nghia Dan district, Nghe An province) entered the country and roamed the waters of Malaysia (where shark hunting is allowed) for nearly a week. On Friday, November 2, 2024, when he seemed desperate, the fish bit the hook. It was a bull shark estimated to weigh 400kg. After struggling with the "sea monster" for about 4 hours at sea, at times when he thought the fishing line was about to slip, Hoa conquered this dangerous shark. "This is the biggest fish since I started fishing, a real dream in life, especially when I conquered it with a fishing rod, something that everyone thought was impossible" - Hoa said.
