Thats really not that big. Im 220 lbs.

According to the article: This is approximately a 300 lb mako shark caught by Tim & Craig Mcfarland about 40 miles south of Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico. The shark maxed out the fish scale at JJ’s Cantina which only goes up to 260.

Why didn't they let it go? A quick Google search indicates that mako sharks are endangered.
