It took 38 minutes for a group of fisherman to catch an 11-foot tiger shark on May 16, according to a KRIS6 report.

Bacilio Hernandez told the station he baited the hook with a cow's nose to lure the shark.

With the help of Robert Huron, Monica Huron, J.R. Garcia and Gilbert Sosa, they were able to land the tiger shark, who measured 11 feet long, according to the report.

The group call themselves "Team Diehard." They are known for hosting an annual fishing tournament in support of autism awareness, Hernandez told mySA.com.

"I can say now I'm in the double-digit crew," Hernandez said in his Facebook post, referring to the size of the shark.

The shark was released shortly after the photos were taken, Hernandez said.
