Reeling in a Whopper!

G'day to you. I hope you're having a 'caffo' one...learning something new and taking time to suck up a little caffeine.  You've come to the right place. Coffee's always fresh here and the array of virtual no-fat treats is a sight to behold. Say...do you like to go fishing? Yeah, me too. Biggist thing I've ever caught was a 24 lb King Coho Salmon. Well, listen to this...

A Florida fisherman has reeled in an 805lb (365kg) mako shark along a Gulf Coast beach.

Joey Polk says he battled the 11ft (3.4m) shortfin mako for about an hour before he managed to get it to shore.

Mr Polk and his cousin Earnie Polk, already record-holding anglers in the world of land-based shark fishing, had hoped to keep their latest catch under wraps.

But a curious passer-by snapped a photo of the large mako stuffed into the back of Joey Polk's pickup truck at a petrol station, and the image went viral on social media.

Despite the publicity, the Polk cousins refuse to reveal where the shark was caught, saying they want to keep people from flocking to the secret location.

Joey Polk told WKRG-TV: "The more people that know about it, the more people that crowd our beach, the more people that come out and fish with hundreds of people swimming - that's not what we want."

Earnie Polk said he and his cousin tag and release about 95% of the sharks they catch. The mako, however, was apparently too weak to swim back out, prompting the cousins to take it home.

They told the Pensacola News Journal that they planned to share the nearly 270kg of meat.
Mako sharks can grow in length to nearly four metres (13ft) and weigh over 500kg (1,100lb).

Shark does make good eating though it can be a tad dry if not cooked right. Upload me a slice, Joey!

See ya, eh!
