The Wisconsin Badgers warmed up for the Orange Bowl by catching (and they told ESPN releasing) a giant shark.

Some of the fellas went deep-sea fishing in Miami and caught a hammerhead ⬅️SWIPE➡️

More from ESPN:

The players were tight end Troy Fumagalli, defensive end Chikwe Obasih, nose tackle Garrett Rand, running back Taiwan Deal, student assistant Matt Miller and outside linebacker Garret Dooley.

They went out on a charter Tuesday night. Obasih and Rand took turns fighting the shark for about an hour to get it in the boat.

They got it in the boat, tagged it, took the picture and released it back into the water.

They weren't the only players having a bit of fun in the much warmer than Madison sun.
