Jordan Spieth almost fell in catching a tuna and shark at the same time
Jordan Spieth went fishing in the Bahamas recently. It almost went badly for him. Then it went really well.
Jordan Spieth could tell me he's going to the moon between the British Open and PGA Championship, and I would believe him. The two-time major winner talked on Tuesday at the John Deere Classic about the trip he took to the Bahamas recently and the fishing expedition he went on.
"We hooked on a tuna, and I was hooked on a tuna for about 45 minutes to an hour," said Spieth. "It was a big tuna, and then these little sharks were coming in trying to get a piece of it, and the captain was scaring them off banging on the boat and on the water, and all of a sudden it just rips back down again. I almost got pulled in. And it was so much heavier, and I was just like, wait, these fish must have seen the sharks and just tried to avoid them."
Things are going so well for Jordan Spieth right now that he can catch a tuna and a shark at the same time. http://t.co/cFUPjQ6usU

"So I had the captain had to come in for about five minutes while a took a bathroom break, and I came back, took it back from him, so in total it was two and a half hours, and what surfaced was like a 12-foot long, 300-pound black tip shark that had eaten this tuna and then had hooked itself, so I guess I caught both in one because I got that shark."
It gets better (somehow).
"A couple of my friends were like, 'I'll take over.' I'm like, you bet your ass you're not taking over. This is my fish. There's no way you're stepping on this. You're going to lose it."
The legend grows.
