Shark Sets Record
October 15th, 2007
“Jaws” caught. Not the Hollywood shark of course, but one that has been compared to it.
Last week a record breaking Mako shark was caught. The shark was 11 feet long.
the fishermen had no intention of shark fishing, seems that the shark went looking for them. The Mako was eating the grouper fish they were hooking, and eventually ended up on a hook himself.
It took 4 hours to land the shark once the struggle began. The boats captain, who has 40 years experience on the ocean, has never seen a shark that big.
Even after it was gutted, it still weighed 638 pounds, which is more than twice the old record.
