Shark capture is quite the fish story
Weighing in at 1,082 pounds, the mako shark measuring 10 feet, 11
inches was one of the largest ever caught

When it hit, Jamie Doucette knew it was big. He was used to big, mind
you, being a man who'd spent two decades on the Nova Scotia coast as a
lobster fisherman, and being a regular entrant in the annual Yarmouth Shark
Scramble, in which he once landed a nine-footer.
But this one, this one was different.
It's the first week in June and Doucette is standing on the dock in
Wedgeport, a charming fishing village just south of Yarmouth, where his
dad's lobster boat, Soldier Boy II, is back in the water after a good
scrubbing, ready to head out for a summer of longline fishing for haddock,
halibut and dog fish.
