Fisherman Lands Record 844-Pound Shark

Six friends went to a fishing tournament looking to catch some grouper. They caught an 844-pound shark instead.

The fight by Adlee Bruner and friends to pull the 11-foot mako shark onto the boat from the Gulf of Mexico took more than an hour on Saturday. But when they made it back to land, it was a record for the decades-old Destin Fishing Rodeo.


"It was tense," Bruner, 47, said about the fight to land the shark, which has a mouthful of huge, fearsome teeth. "I've fished for 40 years. I've never see one that big."


The fishermen first noticed the big mako because it kept eating grouper and scamp they had hooked. "It was like 'Jaws,'" Hill said. Hill hooked a two-foot amberine on as bait and tossed it out. The shark eventually hit it.

After the long fight, the shark was gaffed and eventually gave up after its tail was roped. But even then, the men could not get the big shark in the boat. They tied it to the stern with three ropes and made the four-hour trip back to land.

The shark was hoisted at the rodeo before a big crowd. It tipped the scale at 844.4 pounds (383kg). After it was gutted, the mako still weighed 638 pounds (289kg), breaking the tournament's previous shark division record by 338 pounds (153kg).

The World Record Bench Press

Gene Rychlak setting the world record for the heaviest bench press at 1010lbs or a massive 72 stone to us Brits!



Gene was the first person ever to bench over 900lbs and also 1000lbs. At the 2005 Mr Olympia bodybuilding competition, Rychlak attempted to break his own record by pressing 1015 lb (460 kg). Rychlak was unable to complete the press, and despite having several spotters around him, the weight fell onto his body. Rychlak suffered no serious injuries from the accident. Gene plans to attempt the lift again on September 15, 2007, but with stronger spotters present.
