When seasoned hand fisherman Mark Larson pulled a massive 1.2-meter, 200-kilo catfish from the lake after a grueling three-hour struggle, he never expected what came next—inside the fish’s mouth were sparkling diamonds linked to a $20 million museum heist. Known for his unique technique of catching catfish bare-handed, Mark had already drawn a crowd that day, but the real shock came when police confirmed the jewels were part of a long-lost stolen treasure. Using a vibration sensor attached to the released fish, Mark helped authorities track the thieves, leading to a dramatic midnight arrest and recovery of the full loot—earning Mark worldwide fame and a hero’s title.
