FREEPORT, TX (KTRK) -- It's the shark that's making waves across the nation. It jumped on board a boat near Freeport with three men inside.

We're now hearing from the fisherman who was on board with the live shark as it thrashed around for hours. Now he and the shark have become celebrities.

On Tuesday, it was a draw. On Wednesday, you had to wait in line.

"It's just been crazy, we've had people piling in the door, I mean huge numbers of people coming in," said Mark Friudenberg with Captain Mark's Seafood Market.

The large freezer at Captain Mark's Seafood Market has become part petting zoo, photography student and walk-in biology classroom.

You can even talk to the man who can tell you exactly how a giant 375-pound mako shark got there.

Must have been a big shark to have three men inside.

How did the three men get inside the shark in the first place??? Inquiring minds want to know.....

It couldn't have been a great white because white sharks can't jump.
