A shark fishing expert landed a monster off the coast of Florida on Wednesday when he alone reeled in a 1,200-pound, 12-foot great white.
Blaine Kenny, who owns Coastal Worldwide, a shark fishing outfitter and fishing tour group in Pensacola, and his business partner, Dylan Wier, set out Tuesday night on Navarre Beach, about 25 miles east of Pensacola, aiming to catch “ the biggest shark possible,” they said on their YouTube channel.
The two began their mission by “using the biggest bait possible” – a 150-pound swordfish head and an 80-pound yellowfin tuna head, The Miami Herald reported.
At 8 a.m. the next morning, there was a tug on Kenny’s line, and he began reeling in the fish.
“He just jumped!”‘ Kenny said in the video.
The whole process took an hour, as Kenny would pull the fish and it would pull back into the water. “He didn’t let me take anything,” he explains in the clip, which is nearly 25 minutes long.

“We may have to catch up with him at some point.”
Weir, who serves as Kenny’s watcher, makes a prediction about the sea creature.
“It’s a big, big winter shark,” he said.

“There are only a few things, makos, giant tigers, great white or black sharks that we’ve ever seen in our lives,” Weir chatted. “We’re just going to play, not jump to assumptions, and really what’s on the other end of the line right now? We have a task at hand and that task is to keep Blaine locked up. I need to stay locked up.”
With the help of a drone, Wier searches above to determine what is on Kenny’s line.
“Look, that’s a great white shark!” Wier said.
“Oh my gosh, bro,” Kenny replied, and continued trying to get the shark to shore.
“You did, man,” Weir continued. “Yeah, that’s a monster, man, that’s not just any white shark.”

At one point near the end of the ordeal, Kenny thought the shark had slipped off the line. “That’s scary,” he said. “I’m going to be heartbroken.”
He eventually pulled the big animal to shore, but because it was a great white, Weir said it was necessary to get it in and out of the water as quickly as possible.
As soon as Kenny removed the hook from the shark, the animal was released back into the water.
“I’ve said it many times before,” he said. “But really words can’t describe how this fish feels here.”
