Largest Mako Shark Ever Caught

A man from Texas reeled in a 1,323-pound Mako shark from the Californian waters just off from the coast of Huntington Beach, California. These predators seem to be growing larger than we predicted. Seeing as how this man caught a 1300 pound Mako proves that our oceans are infested with large predatory sharks that we don't even know are there. The battle against this shark took 2 hours and over a quarter-mile of line. The largest shark ever caught was Frank Mundus' Great white shark that weighed an astonishing 4,500-pounds. This shark was caught in 1964 and since then there hasn't been a bigger predatory shark pulled out of the ocean. A shark that can get to 4,500-pounds is a very dangerous shark. Seeing as how we barley know anything about our oceans there is a very large chance that there are much bigger sharks lurking much deeper in the ocean.
