How long would you fight to try and land a trophy fish?

One California angler took almost an entire day attempting to reel in a marlin that he hooked while kayak fishing off the coast. Obviously, this is one of those times where you really can quote Jaws in saying, "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

If Kei Vang, the man who hooked the marlin, would have had a bigger boat, reeling the big ol' fish would have been a lot easier. Instead, the fisherman and those he was out on the ocean with had to fight one of the sea's fastest...

Move over, Cocaine Bear. Here come cocaine sharks. Scientists think crazed and hungry sharks could be feasting on bales of hallucinatory drugs dumped off the Florida coast. While sharks on cocaine sounds like a clumsy Jaws-Scarface crossover, some researchers say the idea may not be as wacky as it sounds. In Florida, sharks in a diverse assemblage swim along a major drug-smuggling throughway, which potentially exposes the toothy predators to floating bundles of narcotics. “This is the only place in the world where a shark could come into contact with such massive doses of cocaine,” says Tom Hird, a marine biologist and broadcaster based in England.
