[/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Panama City Beach- It was no ordinary catch earlier this week in Panama City Beach, and there are pictures to prove it.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Five fisherman took about an hour and half to land a hammerhead shark very early Monday morning.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The impressive part: the shark was 12 feet 3 inches long, weighing in at 512 pounds.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Two of the fisherman spoke to News 13 about the catch Wednesday.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]C.J. Blount says, “We were really surprised at a hammerhead that big. Normally they like to run in schools which probably means that wasn't the only one out there just the first to grab the bait.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Gabriel Allen was showing off the jaws, saying, “You can actually see around the outside of the jaws like the old teeth have broken off because you know shark rotate their teeth and everything and you can actually see where the old teeth used to be.”[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The shark was weighed at Half-Hitch Tackle, on Thomas Drive, Monday.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]You can hear from Blount and Allen, and see their impressive catch below.[/FONT]

93😱 ...another one????Nope, same one posted above. It was brought into Destin, but caught in Navarre.
😱 Were you in Athens when the naked guy was shot and killed by cops because he was a physical threat????....Yes, I remember that one. If I correctly recall, the cop was "defending himself" as the naked man was running the other way.
By the way, that 1000+ lb Mako will not be going into the record books for a catch on 30lb test line, for numerous reasons, a few being that she was snag-hooked, she was feeding on a mammal, another boat was called over to pull her in, ....
This is the Mako which was recently caught. This photo is from www.waltonsun.com and photo credits are not given. My friend was there when the shark came in and she has a photo, showing the bullet hole on the right top side of the shark's head. Interestingly, there in not any mention of a gun being fired at the shark in any of the articles. :scratch: Maybe another reason why it won't make the record books.

Hmmm...not too worried about that bull shark, but I saw an alligator in Western Lake today, and a giant pile of coyote scat in the landscaping not 20 feet from my front door.😱

I promptly got on the phone and called SJ to back me up, which he did. Now I can show him your post!

A 3.3 metre (10′10″) mako shark weighing 492 kg (1082 lbs) caught at the 2004 Yarmouth shark derby.
Here is one caught in Canada, which is only a few pounds more, yet 2 ft shorter than the one caught yesterday. I think either of those men could easily fit into the sharks mouth.
bullet??? how honorable.....😱 :roll: BS fishing!:pissed:

I was driving on 30A towards Seaside, and noticed that Western Lake was like glass- not a ripple anywhere. Usually it has at least a little movement to it. I slowed down to a crawl to get a good look at all the refections and saw the gator when I went across the second bridge.
