DESTIN - A Panhandle fishing captain landed a 740-pound mako shark in a 40-minute battle with the big fish off the Destin coast.

Kelly Windes reeled in the nearly 10-foot-long shark Sunday night while swordfishing about 65 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. He used Boston mackerel as bait.

The catch was the largest in two years on the Destin docks, but was about 100 pounds shy of a record-breaking mako caught in 2007.
