Just another quiet day at the lake.

Yea, that's me - sort of.. :) That was just a Blue Shark I caught one year. 12 feet, 440lbs. Had to haul it on board with just one other guy which turned out to be a lot less fun than it sounds. I only kept this one because I thought it might have been a record for 50lb tackle but I just missed it. Blue Sharks are no good to eat but I have a friend with a BUNCH of dogs and they LOVE the stuff so I took the whole thing to him and we cut it up and placed buckets full of meat into his big walk in deer freezer so his dogs ate like kings for quite a few months on that fish.

5 hour fight on light tackle to get it so it was no slouch by any means. Still got the jaws and since they are just Blue Shark jaws, I let my boys take em to school when they have show and tell. They'll fit right over yer head without touching a hair.. Less'n you got a head like Andre the Giant of course... :)

Whoa! Nice fish! We don't get anything close to that on the Great Lakes. Picked up a seven foot hammerhead off Miami years ago, weighed 150 pounds. Didn't have the mass of your blue. You use a bang stick, or whatever they are called, before you bring them on board?

That one was actually caught back when I first started sharking so I didn't have a THING. I had to drag him backwards for a while to "drown" him and then brought him on and he STILL wasn't dead but we managed to end him eventually.

I have a single shot 12 gauge that I use now although you can't shoot em during a tournament - just when it's a shark you can eat and you are just keeping it for food. 1 high velocity hollow point from 12 inches away while they are still OUTSIDE the boat usually does the trick. They are some incredibly tough beasts though so sometimes it takes a couple. I've tried 00 buckshot but that almost ALWAYS takes 2 or 3 blasts to end em. They are just incredibly tough machines...
