It's believed that the 16 foot shark could be a world record, tipping the scales at 510 kilo or 1,250 pounds, almost half a ton.

Uh, what?

Damn, I thought I knew what a ton was (2000 lb).  I just got an education.

Buh, I came in thinking they fished it out of the water.
Turns out it's more of a surprise catch from a net.
