Thanks, I couldn't find any military ones I liked, and I stumbled upon this one(where it was mixed in with about 100 anti-Bush ones), so I had to get it and use it here. Haha, it seems like all the big fish are caught accidentily on either extremely light line, or by a kid with a snoopy pole fishing for sunnies. When will us fishermen realize the simple fact we try too hard with all of our fancy equipment...

Anyone know what kind of shark that is?

[Duffman]

Tiger or Great White, if a Tiger, it would be a monster.

[LEECH21]

Yea, I was thinking maybe tiger because of the square snout.

[Xplorer]

Gotta be a great white, i dont think that tigers travel that far north. If i remember correctly tigers are more of a warm water species, whereas the great whites travel in cooler waters frequently.

I went and did a search and found this:

Fishermen who hauled in a massive 1,100 pound tiger shark off Massachusetts this past weekend failed to capture first place in the monster shark derby on Martha's Vineyard.

The reason: The boat was six minutes too late in returning to Oak Bluffs harbor with its catch.

The toothy tiger shark may not have won the competition, but it did win the admiration of other fishermen. Steven James of the Boston Big Game Fishing Club said this truly was a monster shark, and one that "could eat you."

6 MINUTES LATE!!

[Mr Special]

Holy Hana

That's to bad they didn't make 1st, due to being only 6mins late. Heck I bet they would've been 15mins early if they didn't have 1,100 of fish to haul back.

[mudman]

they needed a bigger boat

that taxidermist is gonna have a heart attack!

What do you do with an 1100 pound shark once you catch it?

[PERCHJR]

That would be one BIG stringer!!!

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

Put it in a refrigerated trailer and charge two bucks to look at it at the Statefair.
