I have had some great shark steaks, but don't know if only certain
sharks are tasty.- Hide quoted text -

The one I lost a few weeks back was only short of that by 3-4 inches
maybe... I have never fished for them before and did not expect that
slow pull was anything more than bottom junk or a big crab till I saw
it next to the boat! It was holding a chunk of bunker (bluefish bait)
in its mouth but did not have the hook. As soon as he saw me, he let
go and dissappeared. I am guessing he was somewhere between say 26-28
inches long.


This doesn't make sense. Why would you say 3-4 inches shorter, when
you could just as easily say about 5 inches longer? Some fisherman.
You're probably a better boat builder.
