Jack Benson and Will Paine cast their lines into Baltimore’s harbour together on the evening of Jan 26 to wrestle out the first big catch of the night – an electric scooter.

With Paine using a powerful magnet attached to a rope and Benson using an US$8 (RM34.45) grappling hook, they hauled the barnacle-encrusted scooter onto Broadway Pier in Fells Point in Southeast Baltimore, the United States. Already, the night was looking to be a success.
