A group of fishermen in Dania Beach, Florida, reeled in a monster-sized Thresher shark. It weighs a whopping 650 pounds and measures over 13 feet long. Fisherman Jason Fox, 30, caught the shark after two hours of fighting it. Thresher sharks are named for their distinctive long tails and are found in temperate to tropical water throughout the world. ‘This is really just a once-in-a-lifetime fish’, Fox said. He said that the biggest fish he had caught before was 150 pounds. Florida’s record for the largest thresher shark was set back in 1984 with a 544 pounder. Fox and a group of his friends had hired a fishing boat to celebrate a birthday and had caught a day’s worth of kingfish and tuna. Then the captain asked if they wanted to try to catch the thresher shark. Fox plans to show off his shark by mounting it on his wall.
