LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: And if, as Natalie suggested, you are tired of hearing about these stories, forget about it. Here is another one from New Hampshire.</s>SEAN MCDONALD, WMUR-REPORTER: Weighing in at 846 pounds, there seemed to be some consensus of what seems to be of the 10-foot female mako shark caught off New Hampshire, Sunday afternoon.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, he was a big one. He was a special fish.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's the biggest thing I've ever seen.</s>MCDONALD: Two Maine fisherman were 19 miles off New Castle when something took their bait.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We knew right away we had a big fish.</s>MCDONALD: But they had no idea it would wind up being a shark almost half of the length of their 23-foot. For hours, the men fought the half ton creature underneath using a hand fishing rod.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Just watch what he's doing and if he starts turning towards the boat real quick, you kind of play it by ear. It's, they're -- they're not totally unpredictable, but you kind of keep an eye on them.</s>MCDONALD: Two and a half hours later, the shark was caught but not fully dead. And it was so big, this larger boat was called in to help bring in the catch.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: As soon as we got it onboard, we lashed it to each side so it could not bother anybody, and we put a bucket over its mouth.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Man, that is serious, boy! Oh, my word.</s>MCDONALD: Once onshore, the shark made quite a show for envious onlookers. For the two fishermen, it was their biggest catch to date.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's the fish of a lifetime. So you want to make sure you do everything right, and have a little luck too.</s>MCDONALD: I'm Sean McDonald, WMUR News 9.
