This puts a whole new perspective on landing a big fish from the beach:

I know the guy that caught that hammer head and it was caught about 3 miles the way the crow flies from my house. I live west of the intercoastal and not far from Flagler pier. Ive fished from that pier and caught large 42 inch reds running in the deep holes out from the pier . The same guy caught one over 300 lbs last year. I dont go in the ocean here too far. Jaws alive!!!!!!
One a web site I read this weekend it stated you have a greater chance of being killed by cocnuts on the beach. ....

I"ll take my chances with the coconuts.
That guy works at the pier and fishes all the time.
The last weekend at Econfina for scalloping ,the water was really cloudy and needless to say I stayed out of the water.......Well down past hickory mound in the mouth of a creek we saw a huge shark......

scary since we had all been scalloping in small numbers at Econfina . If I had seen something like that in the water with me , it wouldn't have to bite me alive.... I would be dead.. I"m glad scallop season is over now. It will take me at least a year to get up the nerve to go in again after seeing that shark. I think it was a bull.

Used to catch some really big hammers up at Fernadina. That area of the Atlantic and the Tampa area of the Gulf have always held big hammers.
