A man who was fishing at Pompano Beach, Florida, reeled in a rather unusual catch as images and videos shared to Instagram on July 2 show.

Jorge Bustamante was enjoying a fishing trip with his parents when he managed to hook what he believed to be a large bale of marijuana onto his line. Joking that it was an “early birthday gift from Pablo Escobar,” he and his family posed with the package for a number of photos and a video.

Bustamante called the Coast Guard about the bizarre find and they later collected his catch. Credit: Jorge Bustamante via Storyful
