Two men were fishing in waters off Massachusetts when they thought they spotted a huge shark. It turned out to be a marlin just shy of world-record-breaking size. Charter fishing boat captain Damon Sacco and his client Walter Chapman, caught the massive fish in Atlantis Canyon, an underwater canyon approximately 100 miles off Cape Cod, on Wednesday, Aug. 19, the Associated Press reported. At more than 11 feet long and over 1,200 lbs., it was no small fish — and reeling it in was no small feat.
