Description

A 375-pound, eight-foot shark flopped onto the deck of a boat about 50 miles off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico on Monday, according to Fox News. The mako shark was apparently attracted to the fish guts that Texas boat owner Jason Kresse and two crew members had been throwing overboard. After hurling itself onto the stern of the boat, the shark thrashed so much that Kresse and crew were unable to cast it back into the water. It died several hours later, and the red snapper fishermen were forced to use a forklift to remove their catch when they reached shore. The shark, stuffed and mounted, now greets customers at a Freeport seafood restaurant.
