That would be a great way to bring on an oil shortage. Have you ever
tried fishing from a sailboat? I have. There is just nothing like
the excitement of a big ticked off bluefish snapping around within the
confines of a small sailboat cockpit ! Imagine one of our little gulf
coast sharks doing the same thing. Yeee Hah...


One of the nuts in the recent shark tournament out of Oak Bluffs,
Martha's Vineyard had to be medi-vac'd to the hospital. They pulled a
mako into the cockpit and the shark just about took his knee cap off.

I only went shark fishing once, back in the early 1970s with a friend of
my father. When the captain was sure he wanted to keep the shark (for
meat), he let it swim a bit away from the boat, and put several shotgun
slugs into it. He'd apparently seen too many cabin windows turned into
crumbs by flailing tails.


This annual tournament is primarily a catch and release --- mostly
bluesharks --- but a Mako or Thresher is a keeper.
I've got quite a few friends that are really into this. I've tried it, but
it sorta reminds me of the annual running of the bulls festival in Spain.
Pointless, and somebody always gets hurt.
