This is a story that appears headed for the New Jersey record books.
Six guys chartered a boat to take them deep sea fishing Saturday. They hooked what felt like a bus, but it took off under water like a “freight train,” said Mark Miccio, one of the sport fisherman, ranging in age from 21 to 55, who took turns for more than an hour reeling in the catch.
They thought they had a really big swordfish. When it surfaced, the dorsal fin revealed a mako shark — a 12-foot monster that would later weigh in at a possibly record setting 926 pounds.

I read that it won’t be considered a record because because more than one person reeled it in.

The article gave me a flashback to DWEST school.
They dumped us in the kelp beds off the coast of Coronado Island and let us float with the sharks for about 1.5hrs before they picked us up in the helo.
The absolutely scariest period of my life, bar none. Sheer terror.
