possible world record Hammerhead

Thats one VERY big fishie..Some of the guys down here chum for sharks (catch and release)at night out of Bogue inlet and get hammerheads in July and August and they put of a hell of a fight. They get them right at the stern and sometimes bump the boat waiting for SOMETHING to fall in the water..These guys throw in albacore heads, menhadem chum , fish oil and all kinds of fish crap to start them feeding .Frank
 
I've seen alot'o hammerheads. That one is BIG and why I keep a Colt on board. ;) Biggest shark I've seen was a 12' Tiger off Govt Cut in Miami...in about 8' of water while diving for lobster....It's dorsel nearly scrapped my belly as it swam underneath me. Needless to say I froze in place and tried to hide in the brown cloud spewing from my shorts. :-[
 
Yes, the brown cloud is part of man's natural defense system...it works on nearly anything - even cops! Right Willy?! :o

Nah I just make them roll down the passenger side window ;)
You mean to tell me a 12 foot hammerhead swam under you in 8 feet of water.
If that had been me, the following would have occurred
1. I would have drifted slowly to my boat, got in, dried off and kneel down and say a quiet thank you to you know who.
2. I would have cruised home and poured my self a large glass of Mr. Jack D. , kissed all my kids and pet my dogs.
3. I would have taken the CFO for the ride of her life(again)
4. I would start a nice fire in a pit and thrown everything I own related to diving in it along with any books on diving.
 
No it was a Tiger...and YES I freaked out.
I was with mask and fins drifting over grassbeds with the tide. I never saw it comin' cuz I was looking down for lobsters. Next thing I knew.... :o
 
I knowz what ya mean....cuz I ride my CFO hard and put'r away wet every chance I get. That is when SHE feeeeels like it. :P
 
My name comes from 1995 when I cought a 400# 10' Maco 30 mies off Chatam.

Only one I have ever seen, but I don't get there much.

i have caught and released many Blue sharks also in the same area.
 
"HammerHead" was a nic nailed on me by an ol'Boss when I worked thru the Carpenters Union cuz I would drive 16ds in with 3 whacks...then one day I swung back so far I my head with the claw end. Ouch :-[
 
couple of weeks ago we were in 3-4 feet of water using the trolling motor looking for redfish, i was standing on the bow with the trolling motor tiller between my ankles steering the boat. a 6 to 7 foot bull shark swam across the bow of the boat _ IN 3 FEET OF WATER - I decided I wasn't going wading that day, talked to the guy at the local tackle shop, he sez there are bulls upto 12 feet in the river, in 5 feet of water or less!!!!!
 
I never would have let him in the water if I knew that before, unless we were down to the last Killians!!!
 
OH Boy, now I'm going to have nightmares about what could have been :o
Hey Franco I was watching Mark Sosin the other day and he was fishing 50 to 100 yards off the beach in Jupiter for sharks on light tackle and a fly rod too. Pulling in 4-6 footers one after another, they were all over the place. One h@ll of a fight he had on his hands too.
The whole time there are little kids running along the beach and swimming and the sharks are right there. Scary :o
