In great excitement, the fishermen tossed bait and chum in the water to keep the shark near. One of the fishermen exclaimed out loud “No wonder there are no fish around!” They knew it was a great white shark.

The fishermen who caught it called it “El Monstruo de Cojimar.” It was caught in the Gulf of Mexico waters, only a few miles from the shanty fishermen town of Cojimar, Cuba, the same town where famous American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “The Old Man and the Sea”.Ī friend of my father was one of six fishermen who participated in the hunt.
