How was the shark finally caught and killed?

On July 14th, famed big-game hunter and taxidermist Michael Schleisser set out with fisherman John Murphy on their eight-foot wooden motorboat on a fishing expedition in Raritan Bay. When the men reached the bay, they cast a six-foot trawling net. They traveled within four miles of the mouth of Matawan Creek. Suddenly the boat slammed to a halt, immediately killing the motor. The net had caught something, something very big, that was literally pulling the boat back and downward. They were astonished to see that they had netted a huge shark. Murphy put his weight on the stern to keep the craft from tipping over. Schleisser grabbed a broken oar that was in the boat. As he made his way toward the stern, he was shocked to see that the shark had risen out of water and onto the stern, snapping its huge jaws. The boat was rocking so fiercely from the thrashing of the shark that Schleisser was having a difficult time steadying himself so he could beat the beast with his oar. Finally, getting a few blows in, the shark lunged closer to Schleisser, barely missing him. The shark's head grazed his arm, the denticles cutting into his flesh. When the shark lunged further into the boat, Schleisser was able to beat the shark. It finally died and slid back down into the net. They towed the dead shark back toward shore. The famous hunter told those on shore that his battle with the shark was the biggest challenge of his life, bar none. Schleisser and Murphy had the help of several other men on the dock in hoisting the beast ashore.
