Jordan Spieth lands shark in epic fishing battle on Bahamas trip

Jordan Spieth has landed his share of trophies this year on the golf course, but he pulled in something with more teeth on a trip to the Bahamas.

While on vacation following his win at the U.S. Open, Spieth and some of his friends went out on a boat to go snorkeling and fishing. While trying to reel in a tuna for what Spieth said was close to an hour, the two-time major winner started fighting something a little more powerful.

"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 (the line) just rips back down again," said Spieth.
