FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A massive shark was caught off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, and it was all captured on video.
A group of friends were fishing about 18 miles off the coast of Ft. Lauderdale Sunday when they stumbled across 10-foot-long, 750-pound shark feeding on a swordfish.
Jamie Bunn, who videotaped the event, watched as his three friends tried to capture the creature.
"I vividly remember the quote 'We might as well get this thing. Someone's dying today,'" Bunn told Local 10's Rob Schmitt Monday.
It took quite a while to capture the shark. The group tried using the dead swordfish to lure her close to the boat and capture her.
In the video, the struggle was made clear when one of the men screamed, "I'm afraid to lean over. If I fall over i'm dead."
In the end, the fishermen were successful in their attempt.
On a scale at the marina, the shark weighed in at 748 pounds.

In the comments below the story, an unorganized debate about sport fishing seems to have ensued.
What are you thoughts about sport fishing and this particular incident?
Personally I do not have a problem with sport hunting or fishing, but you have to exercise responsibilty. This fish may be endangered, they know nothing about what kind of shark this was, etc.
