Jaws has nothing on this rare Megamouth shark, weighing about a tonne, caught by fishermen in Japan.
Whoa! We’d like to see the man who caught that.
The rather scary-looking fish, almost five metres in length, was netted at Mie Prefecture a few miles away from the Owase Port in Japan, reports TrackingSharks.com. In case you’re wondering just how huge the shark is, take a look at this picture:
Megamouth sharks feed on plankton and swim with their mouths wide open, hence the name. These sharks are extremely rare and only 60 of their kind have been spotted until now, according to reports.

As for the fate of this large specimen, it was bought by a local fishmonger, according to Yahoo Australia.
