SAN DIEGO -- A big shark put on a big show for some fishermen who hooked it off San Diego.

And, they had their camera rolling, reports CBS San Francisco.

The boat's captain believes it was a mako shark, weighing well over 500 pounds.

The shark jumped out of the water multiple times before it was able to free itself from the fishing line after about 20 minutes.
