Large Shark Caught

[Teresa]

just wanted to relay some important information regarding protection of shark species.

"Some shark populations have declined as much as 80% in the last decade, and are approaching extinction. They need protection from the most relentless predator of all?humans."

I fish for shark somtimes,and I have done it from shore but not in a long time. Heres two that a buddy and I caught last summer out side the destin pass. But I have never caught or killed a shark with out eating and let me tell you these guys were good...

With a name like Bear, I would have thought that your sharks would be LARGER than that. :funn: This is the "LARGE" Shark thread. I guess I've been watching too much Discovery Channel.

 

[Bobby J]

That is the good eatin size bear!!!

 

[Bear]

To be honest we could not have landed anything bigger,or would have wanted to. And yes they were some good eaten.

 

[Teresa]

Re: Large Shark Caught---WORLD RECORD

I think this one might qualify as a large shark---oh my goodness, just read it on yahoo news 12' world record shark. Here is the link http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070420/ap_on_fe_st/mako_shark
caught between Pensacola and Navarre---WOW

one more link from http://www.nwfdailynews.com/article/2793, after seeing that this happened yesterday all of you locals may already know. Looks like that was one exciting catch!

Wow! I wonder how long it takes a shark to grow to that size...

 

[Smiling JOe]

Didn't they film part of the original JAWS in Navarre? I heard about this record catch Mako earlier today. That is one huge shark and even a 250 lb man would be an appetizer for a shark of that size. Did you read the part about the Mako was eating a Porpoise when they caught him? HUGE!

Wow! I wonder how long it takes a shark to grow to that size...

Hey Skunky- that is a big Mofo shark!!;-)
