Two commercial fishermen in Mexico received the surprise of a lifetime Sunday when they hauled up a great white shark measuring nearly 20 feet and weighing about 2,000 pounds, according to local news reports. The rare catch of such a large white shark -- at 20 feet it'd be among the longest ever recorded -- was made in Mexico's Sea of Cortez near Guaymas, by fishermen who thought they had merely scored a large haul of much smaller fish as they hoisted up their net.
"We were amazed and immediately realized that we had a huge, dead, great white shark, and then we thought what are we going to do?," Guadalupe, one of the fishermen, said in an interview with Pisces Sportfishing, which is located in the Baja California resort city of Cabo San Lucas. The other fisherman was named Baltazar.

MAN who ADOPTED GIRLFRIEND ORDERED to PAY (46 MILLION) Law Suit
John Goodman (not the actor) has been ordered to pay $46 million to the parents of a 23-year-old man, Scott Wilson, whom Goodman killed while driving under the influence.
The case made headlines because Goodman, the founder of the International Polo Club Palm Beach, attempted to avoid paying the settlement by legally adopting his 42-year-old girlfriend, Heather Hutchins, as his daughter. Prosecuting lawyers argued that Goodman, the heir of an air conditioning fortune, was attempting to shield his substantial assets. The adoption entitled Hutchins to a third of his children's $300 million trust. Lawyers for Goodman's two biological children filed a lawsuit in response to their father's actions.
PINAL COUNTY SHERIFF (Refuses to turn over laptops) To FEDERAL AGENTS
PHOENIX —
A federal agency has issued subpoenas to the Pinal County sheriff and the county board after Sheriff Paul Babeu's office refused to turn over two laptops for inspection.
Documents obtained by The Arizona Republic (http://bit.ly/HXyGJk ) show the subpoenas were issued last week by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. The agency is looking into allegations that Babeu and several key aides were working on his congressional campaign with county resources while on duty.
Babeu is running for the Republican nomination in the 4th Congressional District against state Sen. Ron Gould and U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.
Babeu, a conservative Republican who's made illegal immigration, smuggling and border security a key focus of his public persona, was forced to acknowledge he was gay in February. The admission came after a Latino immigrant who was his ex-lover went public with allegations that the sheriff and his campaign manager, Chris DeRose, threatened to deport him if he revealed their relationship. Both deny making any threats.

SECRET SERVICE bragged TO (HOOKERS) WE work FOR OBAMA (FAIL to PAY FOR SERVICES)
CARTAGENA, Colombia - ABC News has learned exclusively that the Secret Service officials accused of misconduct in Colombia revealed their identities by boasting at a Cartagena brothel that they worked for President Obama.
Partying at the "Pley Club" Wednesday night, eleven members of the president's advance team allegedly bragged "we work for Obama" and "we're here to protect him."
The officials spent the night throwing back expensive whiskey and enlisting the services of the club's prostitutes, according to a bouncer at the club and a police source.
The hookers danced here at club pley!
Sources tell ABC News several of the men agreed to pay for, and received, services from the "highest category" prostitutes available at the club, who charge upwards of $200.
The men paid for the sexual services in advance but when it came time to settle the bill, there was a dispute over the charges.
The group became belligerent and the police were called. The argument between the officials and the bouncers from the club escalated and ultimately spilled onto the street, according to several eye witness accounts.
