It's the ultimate fish story. The crew of a chartered boat hauled in a 1,063-pound mako shark. The shark was more than half the size of the boat.

The crew was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico when they hooked the 12-foot-6 shark.

They had to harpoon the shark to bring it in and they also had to call a bigger boat to bring it to shore.

The shark is being investigated for a world record.
