Florida, Oct 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A whooping 750-pound shark was caught off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida in a surprise heist by four fishermen.

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.

Four fishermen Jamie Bunn, Danny Massa, Jeremy Huston and John Monti were on their usual sword fishing on Saturday, off the Point Everglades Inlet. They were in for a great surprise as 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.

Jamie Bunn accidently videotaped the three other fishermen as they tried to lure to the shore a huge female shark, 10 feet in length, using as bait the swordfish on which she had been feeding when they came across her Sunday, WPLG-TV, Miami, reported.

“I’m afraid to lean over. If I fall over I’m dead,” the video showed one of the men yelling, as the group engaged in its successful struggle to capture the shark.

After much struggle and hard work, which went on for many 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 onto their boat. “We realized we had a fish well north of 600 pounds when we couldn’t get it in the boat,” Bunn said.
