A monstrous 7ft shark has been found just metres from a popular Welsh tourist spot. Two gentlemen who went out for some fishing reportedly found a giant shark by the side of the beach.
According to reports, it was a huge 7ft porbeagle predator which weighed 200lbs. Shocked by what they had found, fishermen Mark Turner and Simon Shaw tried to reel it in, but were unsuccessful in their mission.

"When we saw it we knew what it was straight away, but we couldn't believe our eyes. We just thought 'oh my god, what's this doing so close to the shore?' They're usually found hundreds of miles offshore. It was an unbelievable sight. It was 200lbs easy, and about seven foot long. When we realised what we'd hooked we all got a bit excited,” the gentlemen told Daily Star.
"There was no way we were going to beach it because it was too big. I got it into the rocks but was absolutely exhausted after about half an hour. So I gave the line to Simon and he wrestled with it for about half an hour too. There was no way we could have beached it without hurting it or fatally injuring it so we had to let it go," they added.
