Bengkulu (Antara Bali) - A seven meter long  shark weighing two tons has been caught by a group of fishermen  in the sea off Malabero of Bengkulu  and sold to a fish trader at a price of Rp2 million (US$211.5).

Tens of fishermen  with six fishing boats dragged the shark to shore, one of the fishermen Nudin, who first caught the sharp in his net.

The big sharp with a diameter of around 1 meter was trapped in  fishnet two miles away from the coast, Nudin said.

"I did not expect we would catch such big shark, which had become an attraction for many local people before we sell it," he said.

He said he  and friend  Sapri were fishing in the sea when their fishnet was suddenly dragged down by something heavy.(IGT)
