A Greek fisherman caught a large 3-metre shark in the coastal town of Loutraki in Corinth.

The lucky fisherman dragged it with his boat to the port of Loutraki with the help of the Coast Guard off the Gulf of Corinth and specifically near the Melagavi Lighthouse.

The large fish weighed about one ton and was brought ashore with a crane.
