A fisherman has caught an 11ft killer shark, which he believes is a record for British waters. Rob Rennie is only one of a handful of fishermen to have caught a rare but deadly mako, which is a cousin of the Great White shark.
The 49-year-old was shark fishing on his charter boat 35 miles off the coast of west Wales when the monster specimen bit onto a mackerel bait.
He and five colleagues, among them first time shark angler Daniel Kingsbury, spent two hours bringing the shark alongside their 32ft long vessel.
