So how does someone cast a shark rod & reel far enough from shore to catch a fish that should have dragged them both into the surf?

Unless they are fishing near some extraordinarily deep channel right near shore, the odds of a fish that size just "happening" to pass by sounds about as likely as our government balancing the budget without using creative math to make the number work!

In other words, it doesn't look like this story would pass the BS stink test.

The video feed only shows them dragging the fish ashore.
How come there is no video of them fighting the fish?
I mean they took turns manning the rod, right? So one of them would have been free to video the other.

Somehow I just can't fathom one man holding a deep sea big game rig and reeling in an 800 lb. freight train of a fish. How come they weren't dragged out top sea?

Too many questions and too many variables to make me believe it was caught from shore.

I will admit if I am wrong, but only IF I am proven wrong.

Now, regardless of HOW and WHERE it was caught, that is one heck of a specimen!!!

I am a legend in my own mind!
