This is a unique bowl experience.

On Wednesday afternoon, the official Twitter account of Wisconsin football posted a picture of several players on a boat posing around a relatively large shark. Apparently that was the catch of the day for the Badgers.

Yes, the Badgers hooked a 450-pound hammerhead shark while out fishing in Miami, a few days ahead of the Orange Bowl. The photo can be seen below.

Wisconsin finished the season 12-1, with the only loss coming in the B1G Championship Game to Ohio State. That loss cost the Badgers a bid in the College Football Playoff.

Wisconsin will play Miami in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30 at 8 p.m. ET.
