possible world record Hammerhead
 

Re: 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
