1,149.5-pound shark caught in Gulf - al.com

1,149.5-pound shark caught in Gulf - al.com: "Bill Walters' entire body was still sore Friday. That's understandable, considering that on Wednesday he landed what is believed to be the heaviest shortfin mako shark and third-largest of any fish species ever caught on rod and reel in the Gulf of Mexico.

Walters, a 56-year-old dog-obedience trainer from Granbury, Texas, was on just his second saltwater fishing trip."
