In the 1st video, recorded at sea during nighttime, several fishermen on boats can be seen gathering around a fishing net with what looked like hundreds of fish caught inside.

However, 1 fish stood out amongst the rest in the fishing net due to its sheer size: A whale shark!

In fact, the whale shark was more than twice the size of the small boat 2 of the fishermen were on.

Throughout the video, the whale shark can be seen struggling to move around the fishing net and trying to find a way out.
