- In a video seen on TikTok, the fisherman released the fish back into the waters after he dragged it out from his fishing net
- The dotted stingray was still very much alive, and it struggled as the man pushed it back into the water to preserve its life
A lucky fisherman hauled out a rare fish called dotted stingray, and a video of it was shared on TikTok.
In a Tiktok video shared by @khalidbouk33, dotted stingray fish was seen in the man's fishing net after he hauled it out to a dry area during a fishing expedition.
The dotted stingray is said to be among the most expensive fish in the world, costing at least $100,000 (N91 million).
However, the fisherman was not interested in consuming or selling the stingray fish even after successfully bringing it out.
While he left other fishes in the net, he dragged the stingray back into the water, apparently to preserve its life.
The fish was still alive and struggled as the man took it back to the water.
