After researchers tagged the 6.5-foot-long male shark off the Maryland coast in the fall, Hypower circled offshore between New York and New Jersey, took a few loops around the North Atlantic, then made a beeline down the East Coast. The shark then trekked close to shore in North and Central Florida before heading to South Florida, where it swam down to the Keys and back toward the mainland.
Nicknamed the cheetahs of the seas, makos can swim up to 60 mph. The sharks are known for making remarkably long treks a young female named JiffyLube2 (for her sponsor) covered more than 10,000 miles in 2015

The IGFA has many rules to qualify you for a record catch.
For example: Only one angler can fight the fish- the rod, reel and line must meet certain requirements- the wire leader has to conform to certain lengths, and the fish must be fought by one angler attached to the rod and reel and not from a rod holder permanently mounted in the boat gunnel, and many more requirements, including how you boat the fish.
They were out tuna fishing and would fight big tuna with the rod in a holder mounted on the side of the boat.
The IGFA would disqualify any catch made that way on any species of fish. -Tom
wrong mullet, but sharks are equal opportunity predators they would probably eat him as well....
