A group of Pakistani fishermen had the biggest haul of their lives on Tuesday when the carcass of a massive 40-foot, seven-ton whale shark was pulled out of the water, and RadarOnline.com has video of their biggest catch.

The giant fish, which is a threatened species, was first spotted unconscious 10 days ago 150 kilometers off shore, and it took five cranes to lift its carcass onto the dry land in the port of Karachi while a crowd of fascinated onlookers watched.

The shark was later sold for its meat for 1.7 million rupees, the equivalent of $18,000.

The skit was a nod to an earlier episode of the TLC hit which featured Sarah, her father and a pal hunting for caribou.
