BALIK PULAU: With just a rod and line, an angler has managed to reel in a cusk eel, a fish that is supposed to be found many kilometres below the sea.

Even marine researchers are surprised by the catch, claiming that it could be possible due to undersea earthquakes that had spooked such deep-sea fish to rise from the depths.
