You’re not catching a fella like this on the Shannon.

Fishing is one of the most relaxing ways to spend a few hours but if you end up with this monster on the end of your line, your day is going to get a whole lot more exciting.

Seventeen-year-old Floridian Adam Satter was fishing of the coast of his home state on Monday when he snagged a humongous swordfish.

Weighing in at 693 pounds, it isn’t the biggest one ever caught, but there should be enough here to feed Adam all the way through college, if his freezer is big enough.
