Florida, Oct 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A huge and magnificent 750-pound shark was caught off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, some fisherman saw a 10-foot long, 750-pound shark feeding on a swordfish. Using the swordfish as bait, the fisherman trapped the shark and took it back to the marina.

Fishermen Jamie Bunn, Danny Massa, Jeremy Huston and John Monti were on their usual fishing for sword fishing on Saturday, off of the Point Everglades Inlet. They had no clue that they were going to create history that day, when bout 18 miles offshore, they noticed a dead swordfish floating in the water, being circled by a macho shark.

Just for fun, the fishermen decided to lasso the dead fish and draw it up against the boat, so they could get a good look at the shark. However the shark lost its temper over the loss of its food, it began biting the boat’s exhaust and propellers!

After much struggle, which went on hours, they were able to get the shark gaffed and tied. But even after trying for almost three hours, they were unable to get it into the boat. “We realized we had a fish well north of 600 pounds when we couldn’t get it in the boat,” Bunn said.

The four men decided to just tie it to the back of the boat and tow it into the marina, where they were amazed to see that the shark weighed a whooping 748 pounds!
