A fisherman is celebrating after catching a record-breaking seven-foot shark off the coast of Devon in the UK. According to Daily Mail, the shark measured almost seven feet long and had a girth of six feet, which makes it the biggest catch ever in British waters.
Simon Davidson said he wrestled with the porbeagle shark for an hour before he was able to reel it in. The big game fisherman, from Northamptonshire, said his body was "battered" after the ordeal, but described it as the "most mind-blowing capture" of his life in a Facebook post.
"I managed to catch a 550lb porbeagle shark. It's totally blown me away, my body is battered, but I am ecstatic," Mr Davidson wrote on Facebook, calling it the catch of a lifetime.
Mr Davidson and six other fishermen worked for over an hour to reel the 'monster' shark into their boat.
