Recently, Blaine Kenny, a shark fishing expert and owner of Coastal Worldwide, a company providing shark fishing services and fishing tours in Pensacola, Florida, achieved remarkable success when he caught this giant white shark singlehandedly on a beach in Navarre Beach.

He and his business partner, Dylan Wier, got ready the night before and intended to catch the biggest sharks possible.

This impressive success was recorded on video, and posted on YouTube.

In the video, Blaine Kenny said he used the largest bait possible, including a 150-pound swordfish head and an 80-pound yellow tuna head.

At 8:00 a.m. the next morning on watch on the beach, there was the sound of pulling the fishing line and he began to pull over the fish.

Finally, Blaine pulled the giant shark to shore, but it was a great white, Dylan claimed that he had to get it in and out of the water quickly.

The great white sharks were very vulnerable if they stayed on shore for too long.

After Blaine removed the bait from the shark, they released it back into the ocean.

Blaine did not hesitate to share his feelings: "I've said this many times before, but really, there are no words that can describe how I felt when I saw this giant white shark."
