A fisherman in the Marshall Islands hauled in a very unexpected catch - 48 kilos of cocaine, worth about $4 million.
As the reported, the angler was about 307 miles from the Marshall Islands capital of Majuro when he found the cocaine in professionally wrapped plastic bags, which authorities believed had broken free from a larger bundle.
