Fisherman catches deer half-mile off coast

This is definitely a unique catch.

A fishing boat captain off the coast of England, thought he saw shark off in the distance. When the boat got closer to the animal, however, he realized he wasn’t looking at a shark.

He had found a deer swimming a half-mile off the coast.

Mark Bowditch found the deer swimming in waters that were over 150-feet-deep, Southwest News Service (SWNS) reports. At the time, he was out with his partner and children, along with a charter guest, Morgan Lloyd. While they were prepared to catch some fish, they came across something completely different.

“Initially, I just thought it was a basking shark swimming slowly across the surface,” Bowditch told SWNS. “Then when I got a little bit closer and it turned, I saw it had two ears!”
