In a rare feat, a 30-year-old fisherwoman in Ireland used a lightweight rod and line to reel in a massive 1,200-pound shark on May 12.

The 15-feet long giant was caught at a depth of more than 200 feet off the coast of Carrigaholt. It was so big that it couldn’t be brought on the boat. It was measured and released back into the ocean, reported the Irish Mirror.
