That fish was how big?

LOS ANGELES, July 5 (UPI) -- A fishing party landed a shark that was so big the scale on the dock couldn't measure its weight, the manager of a Southern California fishing business said.

Craig Campbell, general manager of Del Rey Landing in Marina Del Rey, said the scale stops at 750 pounds, and he thinks the shark the fishing party brought in Monday weighed at least 800 -- and possibly as much as 900 -- pounds, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Campbell said it took at took at least six men to land the mako shark about 15 miles off the coast, and then they had to tow it by its tail because it wouldn't fit in their boat.

"It was a pretty big fish," Campbell said.

He said fishing in the area is pretty good currently, and the big catch is a sign "big fish are out there and coming in a little closer."

"We haven't seen sharks like that around here for a couple years," he said.

"It used to be a fairly common occurrence."

Missing dog found after taking train

DUBLIN, Ireland, July 5 (UPI) -- An Irish woman said she was reunited with her dog after it hopped a train in Kilcock and ended up about 20 miles away in Dublin.

Deirdre Anglin said her dog, Patch, went missing "around 4 or 5 p.m." Tuesday and apparently hopped an Irish Rail train Wednesday morning from Kilcock to Pearse Station in Dublin, TheJournal.ie reported Wednesday.

Workers at the station took care of Patch and posted his picture on Twitter.

"This morning we did the usual social network thing, putting photos on Facebook and Twitter and then I saw the tweet from Irish Rail at around 9.30 so I went straight down for him," Anglin said.

Anglin said she doesn't think Patch will try to repeat the stunt.

"He's a bit nervous now so I'd say he's had his fill of trains and won't be going on them again," she said.
