PALM BEACH (CBSMiami/AP) — Donald Trump Jr. reeled in a big catch while fishing from the beach during a spring break trip to Florida with his family.

The president's son posted an Instagram picture holding a Blacktip shark on Sunday, adding "this is what happens when momma lets the boys loose in Florida for a few days."

After snagging the shark, Trump Jr. and his children Donnie and Spencer posed with the shark on a windy day in Palm Beach.

On a video posted to YouTube, Trump said it's the first time he's caught a shark while fishing from the beach. After a couple of minutes, Trump Jr. dragged the shark back into the rough surf and let it go.

The Palm Beach Post reported Trump Jr.'s crew caught and released a half-dozen Blacktip sharks that day.
