Fisherman hooks Great White Shark

A fisherman got more than he bargained for when he went out fishing in the US

FAB Marchese has the best fishing story ever. Last Friday he hooked a Great White Shark. And he has the video to prove it.

Mr  Marchese  fought the 1360 kilogram shark for nearly three and a half hours holding the rod against his abdomen.

"Just the vision of seeing that head," Mr Marchese said. "Like, it was massive! That's what I'm going to remember the most."

Mr Marchese said he though he just had to hang on to the shark no matter what.

"Just hold on, yeah hold on and fight," said Marchese. "I wanted to see it right up close."

Joe Maisano with Go Fast Fishing Charters in Treasure Island was stunned when he saw what was on the end of Mr Marchese’s line.

"About four hours into the fishing trip and then big mama showed-up and wanted to play."

"Only a couple species of sharks get that big," Mr Maisano said. "Great hammerheads, tiger sharks, and the great whites are the only three that will get up there that big."

The only problem with hooking such a big catch is that it’s going to be hard to beat it.

"Yeah, this is like a dream come true basically," Mr Marchese said. "You never think something like this is going to happen. It's just like, how am I going to top this now?"
