Guy in San Diego catches a 9'6" great white fishing off the beach. Wait what?

Source - Jeff Fangman had just moved to Southern California when he got the idea to take his wife and daughter down to the beach for a little fishing.

He cast in his line and waited on the shoreline at Camp Pendleton.

It wasn’t long before the U.S. Marine realized that something otherworldly must be on the other end.

"The line just started rolling off the reel," Fangman told 10News in San Diego.

After 25-minute of reeling, pulling and sweating, Fangman landed a 9-foot, 6-inch great white shark, a monster of a catch even in the Gulf Coast where the Marine had become accustomed to shark fishing.

This story makes literally no sense. I've read it five times. It takes 20 minutes to reel in a 30 inch blue fish.  Since he was 'doing a little fishing with his wife and daughter' I assume he had a pretty average set up going on. Why would a great white chomp on a worm on a treble hook anyway? And if it did, it would rip the line off the rod and then the rod out of your hands so fast it would make your head spin. You don't muscle a great white out of the ocean in 25 minutes with a Wal-Mart rod. You just don't. Plus, I watched the video. That shark is not ten feet long. This whole thing smells fishy as fuck (pun) and I demand answers. Not tomorrow. Not after breakfast. Now.
