Texas fisherman catches 809-pound tiger shark

PORT ARANSAS, Texas (AP) — A Texas fisherman has landed an 809-pound tiger shark in the Gulf of Mexico after reeling it in for more than seven hours.

Ryan Spring of San Antonio says he caught the shark on Sunday about 5 miles off Port Aransas (uh-RAN’-suhs). He says the 12-foot, 7-inch shark was about as big as his boat and that it pulled the vessel south for more than 15 miles.
