That sort of thing actually happens all the time here in Alaska... Not quite to that extreme, but I was surrounded by a seine just last week while trolling for salmon right in the main channel downtown Juneau.
Take a look at some of the sac roe herring fishery that goes on near Sitka... granted, it's commercial boats netting each other, but when they find a school of fish, all he** breaks loose and I've seen boats sunk when they couldn't get their nets untangled fast enough.
Life in different parts of the world!
