I hope he felt stupid with that little tiny net that he broke the handle on.

Ive read up on fishing for this pimas in Thailand. Since the fish are so big they will make long rungs and get the line tangled up on various snags. Well this is where that little dude comes in. I read that he could spend hours diving in to actually untangle or even break and re-tie the line when and where needed so the angler can continue fighting the fish! Pretty amazing if you ask me!

At least he was smart enough to unscrew the long handle after he got the head inside the net and not before.

You probably don't want to be any closer to its snapping front before you have it under control. There's probably at least one hook in there with at least one barb that you want to be as far away from during the struggle.
