    Fishing sharks

    8. april 2022, Maldivene ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Going on a boat trip today, we were ready to fish our dinner. Well, Sebs dinner as I am a vegetarian. But anyway, we drove out to the sea, put our fishing rods into the water and waited for the big catch. As we finally hooked something, we weren't so pleased after all. We had a nurse shark on the hook. We let them loose again, trying another time. As the other people on the boat reported to have caught the fifth nurse shark, Seb and I were pretty sure, that this was no coincidence. That must be their usual spot and this fishing trip only a tourist attraction. Pretty disappointing and honestly infuriating. Doesn't matter that we didn't pull the nurse sharks out the water, it must still hurt getting hooked! After all, I actually caught a little fish, but as it was too small to eat, they luckily threw it overboard again.Les mer
