A giant two-tonne whale shark was caught by a Chinese fisherman, when it broke into his net to eat the fishes it had caught. This happened in Yangzhi county, Fujian province on 1 August, 2014 The fisherman, Cai Chengzhu said he and his colleagues had been hauling their net out of the water when they noticed a gaping hole in the side. He had planned to sell the gigantic fish, thought to be a juvenile,
between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan (£960-£1920) before he was stopped by officials from the Fujian fisheries department because it is illegal to either buy or sell whale sharks in China, where they are classed as protected.
