- 6 years ago
This man had an extreme fishing experience when a 200-pound hammerhead shark caught his bait.
Michael Covino was fishing in his kayak when he got a bite.
After a 15-minute-long struggle, he realises that he has hooked a hammerhead shark that is at least 6-foot long.
“Holy f***, he broke off. That was a heavy fish, that was a 6-foot hammerhead. My first hammerhead,” Michael can be heard shouting in the video.
“Fishing a shark like that in a kayak isn’t easy because you can’t put your body into it, all you’ve got is your arms. So I’m just pulling up with my arms, I can’t put my weight into it, dude I’m shaking.” He says at the end of the video.
The clip was filmed July 14 in Florida.
