1million in cocaine accidently hooked by people fishing. Was it smuggled across the desert before it was tossed in the water? More drugs come in by boat, air, and trucks than carried by people. That's where drug enforcement assets need to go - not watching a useless wall.

Let me guess it has Donald Trumps fingerprints on it.🤣🤣🤣.

Orange man bad

Good catch ..someone’s in cement shoes now 😉

Someone’s in trouble.

Wow that's an expensive street, what is it ? Rodeo drive?

Hey give that back!

Trump’s going to put a Tariff on that soon.

realDonaldTrump Time to build a wall around the country ;)

No wonder that those fish were jumping right into the boat with shit eating grins on their faces and terminal cases of the munchies!

Catch and release lake...Cops made them throw it back

pablo escovars package,give it back to him

Ladies and gentlemen, two really dumb fishermen.

Look at the way that fish is eyeing up the coke! He's like, give me a couple of lines and I'll flop my ass right out of this boat! LOL

It looks like the staged the fish there too lmao. FBI AESTHETICS

more like 2-3 million

Oh they found my weekend party boat bag! I mean... Whose is that?!

I hope they didn't find all that cocaine near a 'School' of fish... HA! Get it?

This is why we need to extend the border wall into the ocean and not, I can get into outer space!

No wonder the shrimp are having levels of cocaine in them.

That's a huge money

these cats fished some bolivians

Well its a good thing the wall's building that will stop nothing

I'm not sure 'sitting at the bottom of the sea' is going to be a big selling point.

Is it just me, but it seems pretty cheap.

Someone’s in trouble.

Lost Lewis Chessman worth over $1 million found in drawerA long lost Medieval chess piece stored in a drawer for 55 years, the Lewis Warder, could now fetch up to £1 million ($1.3 million) at auction. That’s pretty cool. Something similar happened to me when I found a Starbucks card with $4.37 on it in my drawer last week. 'This time next year, Rodney . . . ' That belongs in a museum. I bet this would tickle Irving Finkel.
