:o WHOA - that's a big fish...

I think it's kind of a shame to kill something that old and big. :( I'm a fan of keeping 'mediocre' fish and letting the real trophies breed...


Too bad they didn't get a better photo of it...

Dave- I agree with you as far as fish species, but tiger sharks are one of the three shark species that are documented man eaters. I would hate to meet that shark 1 on 1 in the water.

:-D

from the article....
...This toothsome trophy shark is now the talk of the fishing world....

The entire derby -- with this monster shark -- will air on ESPN 2 on Sept. 12, 19, 26th and Oct. 3. The Monday night series will chronicle the hunt for these predators of the deep blue sea.
WTG Dave- :thumbup:
