A Texas man caught a 1,149-pound shark on only his second saltwater fishing trip. Bill Walters of Granbury, Tex., caught the shortfin mako shark at Port Fourchon, La. The big fish measured 11 feet 8 inches.
Nabbing the shark wasn’t easy, though. With the help of nine friends and the boat’s captain, it took Walters six hours to haul in his catch.
DANG!!!! That is soooo cool!
tx is a good place to start for saltwater. my first time i caught four crabs. 😛
