Fishermen Reel in 13-Foot, 800-Pound Tiger Shark off Coast of South Carolina
About a mile off South Carolina's Folly Beach this past Saturday, Joe Morris, Mike Huff and a few others managed to reel in quite the catch.
Their catch turned out to be a 13-foot, 800-pound tiger shark.

According to the Post and Courier's Bo Petersen, Huff noted that the massive shark "had to be gutted before it could be pulled" onto the boat. It shouldn't surprise anyone that a shark that size "took five people to get it on the dock."
The crazy thing is that this isn't even Morris' biggest catch ever. Per Fox Carolina, the fisherman said he has caught three sharks that each weighed more than 1,000 pounds.
In other words, he knows what he's doing out on the water.
*Note: The tweet above says that it was a 14-foot tiger shark. However, the linked article in the tweet and a follow-up tweet both list it as a 13-foot shark.
