While some players get in additional training in the weight room or on the treadmill during spring training, New York Mets pitchers Steven Matz and Sean Gilmartin decided to take a different approach.

The pitching pair recently went shark fishing, and boy, did they ever manage to get their hands on one gigantic catch.

Matz described catching the shark, which was in his words as big as a "truck," as one of the hardest things he's done in his entire life.

After making the catch, they released the shark back into the water.
