A group of Cubans staged a surprising shore fishing scene that has left thousands of social media users astonished, after managing to catch a large fish without the need for a boat.

The moment, shared on TikTok by the user identified as @yankieleaym, captures the excitement of those present as one of the fishermen manages to pull a significant specimen out of the water, which is estimated to weigh over 20 pounds.

"Put your hand in its mouth without fear; that won't do anything. Daddy, what a horse! It weighs over 20 pounds!" is heard from one of the Cubans, visibly impressed by the size of the catch.

The images show the fisherman maneuvering the rod from a rocky area by the sea, eventually managing to bring up the fish, which is then proudly displayed in front of the camera.

The video has sparked numerous reactions, particularly because it features fishing from the shore, a common practice among Cubans seeking alternatives to obtain food or simply to enjoy the sea amidst daily difficulties.

This type of scene reflects both the skill and creativity of many Cubans, who achieve amazing results in traditional activities like fishing, despite having limited resources.
