ENGLAND: 248 lb recod blue shark


Angler  Bob Pollard fishing off the coast of Penzance, in  Cornwall, England,   reel in this 112 kilos - 248 pound blue shark.  Pollard was fishing with Capt. Robin ‘Chippy’ Chapman, owner of the boat "Bite Adventures", who helped haul in the 8 foot long blue shark. The fish is the new British record and bests the standing record by over 26 pounds.

Accordin to the Daily Mail Pollard  described it as a pig of a fish, who left the experienced skipper to hold the head-end of the killer shark as they battled to haul it on to the fishing boat.
