Shark jumps into fishermen's boat
FREEPORT, Texas — It's the catch of a lifetime, but it's not clear whether a Texas fisherman landed an 8-foot shark or it landed him.
Jason Kresse, 29, of Freeport, and two crew members had been fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
"All of a sudden something hit the side of the boat," Kresse said. "He ends up landing on the back of the boat."
Kresse said he and his crew couldn't get close to the 375-pound fish to toss it back in the water. It damaged the boat before dying several hours later.
