While on their trip, Dotson hit the waters for some fishing, one of his favorite hobbies outside of football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He reeled in a massive shark, posting a photo and videos from his excursion on Instagram. Dotson is a big man, and that shark is no joke. Take a look at his catch in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_em_ig_bl\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DVtkf_PEZok\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"view Instagram post: \"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=83224X1595658&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.com%2Fvideo%2Fclip%2F_%2Fid%2F48246457&amp;xcust=SC1-SRAM&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Ftheramswire.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fsports%2Fnfl%2Frams%2F2026%2F03%2F19%2Frams-kevin-dotson-australia-shark-fishing%2F89227852007%2F\" data-v-afl=\"\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">In an interview with ESPN<\/a>, Dotson says it was the biggest catch of his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I caught the biggest shark of my life. This is the biggest fish I have caught. My PR (personal record),&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After the shark landed on the boat, Dotson went into full-focus mode, making sure he always kept the shark&#8217;s head pointing in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I&#8217;m looking at him, making sure he doesn&#8217;t turn back because I heard the seven-gilled sharks can whip back to their tail \u2013\u00a0bite where their tail is. Once they told me that, I&#8217;m like, I&#8217;m looking at his eyes, I&#8217;m looking at everything. I&#8217;m ready to take that jump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Dotson says there&#8217;s more focus needed on this shark than there is going against an All-Pro three-tech defensive lineman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;The shark. The three-technique&#8217;s not about to bite me,&#8221; he said with a big laugh. &#8220;This guy might take a leg. That&#8217;s not a counter move I need to worry about. There&#8217;s no film on that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1773983607_391_86373428007-square-1.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 19, 2026, 10:32 a.m. PT The Los Angeles Rams will be playing against the San Francisco 49ers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822547,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[95878,7,1014,58,2444,2611,6,424,95922,95923,95882,107506,95946,96696,95892,114115,96324,96327,97056,96082,95924,95899,95883,114116,95881],"class_list":["post-822546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-rams","tag-accessfree","tag-football","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesrams","tag-nfl","tag-rams","tag-sstssportsnflrams","tag-sstsnrams","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagaustralia","tag-tagcalifornia-gold-rush","tag-tagcelebrities-entertainment-news","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagfishing","tag-taginstagram","tag-tagkevin-dotson","tag-tagkyren-williams","tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","tag-taglos-angeles-rams","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagwildlife","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116259796158218383","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
