The Argungu fishing festival is held annually and thousands of fishermen participated in this year’s festival at the Matan Fada River in Nigeria. After a time limit, the team that caught the largest fish would be escorted by the Sultan’s guard to be presented the prize to him. This year, the winner received a brand new bus as well as one million Naira (around $7500).
