King crab caught on fishing rod

One of the Swedish team members caught a king crab when fishing for plaice in the Harbor here in Mehamn!

When standing on the marina holding his fishing rod he first thought he had got stuck in the bottom. However when pulling harder with the rod he succeeded to retrieve some line. After a while and little bit of struggle a king crab appears below the surface. He could hardly believe his eyes!

And here it is on the marina!
