You won't believe the size of this massive shark caught by a group of fishermen dubbed the biggest in Britain.
This has been dubbed the biggest shark ever caught in a British water.
The huge animal caught off the north Cornwall coast on Sunday and it weighed in at 26st (368lb).
According to
Dailystar, Dan Hawkins 33, of Taunton, Somerset who caught the fish said:
"The shark was tempted using a whole mackerel hook bait and was landed after a powerful struggle lasting over an hour.
"The fish leapt from the water twice before eventually being brought into the boat where it was measured and photographed before being released.
"It swam away strongly, a wonderful sight for all on board.
"Within 15 minutes of the rod being out it just screamed off — and the next thing we saw was this thresher shark jumping 20ft out of the water.
"Battle then commenced and they spent one hour and 20 minutes before getting it into the boat."
Dan, who runs a fishing trip company, added: "It was a hard and fast battle and we covered about two miles during it.
"It was just sheer jubilation when we got it on board.
"It is one thing hooking it — but another to land it.
"The thresher shark is very rare in UK waters and the chances of seeing one and hooking it are extremely rare so I feel very privileged to have been involved in one.
"It is the fish and catch of a lifetime."
It comes after families thought they saw a deadly shark washed up on the coast of Skegness, Lincs., at the weekend.
But the four-foot beast turned out to be a harmless smooth-hound shark.
