1100# Tiger Shark.

-Allen

That's a big moma  


I bet Mike / Sturgy can land that beast with 12# line......

Uugghhhh.......  How do you make sure one of those is dead? Put a few slugs in his head?

You can drown them by tail tying them and pulling them behind the boat. I am guessing that is what these guys did since that shark would probably not fit in the boat.

I am kinda bummed it is dead since they probably just weighed it and threw it away.

You maybe right....and that is a bummer    (but I'm pretty sure they kept the jaws for a trophy) IMO: they should donate that shark to Daly City - and watch my fellow Flips (Filipino) brothers and sisters make a fine dish out of that bad boy   ...over rice of course  

So it is legal to catch and kill large sharks like that just for kicks?

every shark ...I think....but definitely not a White Shark

IMO: if you catch and keep it - YOU BETTER EAT IT.

Seems like a waste to keep it and not eat it.

Well if they don't eat it maybe they will use it for some lobster pots or something...

My dad and I used to fish a lot of tournaments in Texas and see a lot of sharks caught (there was a biggest misc fish category) these big sharks would be brought in, weighed, then tossed in the harbor  

" Here's the tiger on the cutting board. The meat was donated to the Long Island Council of Churches, derby organizers said."

Not sure if they are going to bless it or eat it?

The jaws from a shark of that size could fetch $1000 on ebay.  GW sharks aren't protected out there either...

Really?

Ahh thats awesome! That is going to be one hell of a fish fry!

Nope.  I recall when that one GW was stuck in the salt pond after a particularly high tide, they instituted a 2 month moratorium on GW shark fishing so nobody would catch and kill it.
