Green Bay Packers Linebacker Sam Barrington made the most out of his last few days before reporting for off-season training earlier this week.

The 4-year NFL veteran spent some time off the South Florida coast last week doing a little fishing with the boys from BlacktipH, an online fishing show.

Posting a picture to his Instagram account confirmed what some would deem as a fish tale, showing off the 400-pound bull shark he carefully reeled in for about 45 minutes. “It was worth it,” the caption reads.

Yesterdays catch with @blacktiph 400 pound Bull Shark of the coast of Palm Beach. Took about 45 minutes to get him in but it was worth it. Check out the full video on @blacktiph YouTube Channel! #Fishing #Sharks #PalmBeach #5AM8O

The video is expected to be up on the BlacktipH YouTube channel very soon. Until then, it’s back to work for Barrington with his sights now set on a Super Bowl Championship.
