A fisherman from Maharashtra's Palghar, near Mumbai, had never imagined that he would make a fortune with his catch and earn crores overnight. Chandrakant Tare, a fisherman from Murbe village in Palghar district, took his boat to the sea for the first time on August 28 after the monsoon ban on fishing was lifted. While fishing, he noticed that the net had become heavy and he immediately pulled it out. Crew members aboard the boat were surprised to see that he had caught around 150 ghol fish in the net at once. Ghol fish is not only a delicacy but also has many medicinal properties and is highly valued in various countries. Its parts are used to make medicines and other high-priced products.
