chalk,
That's the new world record hammer head caught in Boca Grande, correct? If I remember correctly it t took several hours and the bait was about a 15lb stingray. The boat looks like a large Pathfinder?
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

That is the new record hammerhead. I think there is an article about it in an issue of Saltwater Sportsman from last summer, they have a couple crazy pics in there, including this one. And you're right, the bait was a huge stingray
tact is for people not witty enough to be sarcastic

It's a shame they had to kill it. As Steve would say, "She's a beute"..
