SINGER ISLAND --  A thirteen-year-old reeled in a 340 pound bull shark. But it's not his first.

We caught up with Aidan Murray Medley while he was showing off his catch at the Sailfish Marina.

Last year, he grabbed headlines when he caught a 551 pound bull shark. The catch attracted a lot of criticism from people who said he should have let it go.

Aidan says he catches sharks because he likes to and mounts his prizes on the wall. He says he's fascinated by the ocean and wants to be a marine biologist.

This latest catch took three hours to reel in to the boat. His fishing partner says not everyone has the skill to bring in big game fish. Aidan says he plans to go after hammerheads in the coming days.
