The following article is in today's Metro newspaper.

"A fisherman was left reeling as he hooked a 90kg (200lb) shark. Mike Duckett was fishing in the sea off Plymouth when a rare mako shark grabbed his bait. The 70 year old tried to hang on but ran out of line, and the mako - which usually roams tropical seas - swam off. He said 'I knew it was a big one but then I saw a dorsal fin'."

A mako shark is one of the fastest sharks and normally feeds off boney fish. This one must have taken a wrong turn somewhere as they prefer warmer waters than those found round our coasts. They are also capable of jumping approx 6' out of the water.
