A couple of local fishermen snagged a pretty big catch last night, an 11ft 2in Mako shark to be exact.

Monday night, R.D. Foote and Rich Stulen of Panama City beach caught this five hundred twenty-five pound Mako shark about one hundred yards offshore. Foote owns and operates R.D.'s Sharkin Safaries and says this is his thirty-second shark, 6ft or longer he's caught in the past year.

Foote said he noticed three dark shadows in the water while he and his buddy were fishing. He said two of them swam off but the third one didn't. And that's when he felt a big tug on his rod.

"And this little shadow came up on my bait and swam around it. I turned around and wasn't thinking of it and next thing I know my reel is bent over and my rod is bent over and my reel is sounding like a chain saw gone crazy. We see this thing come out of the water," R.D. Foote, of R.D.'s Sharkin' Safaris said.

Last year, a fisherman caught a 12ft Mako shark in Destin that weighed a little more than one thousand pounds.
