The article indicates this fisherman caught some heat for bringing it
home.
The boat captain said it was the fisherman's choice.
Seems to me the captain gets to set the rules.

It would have been more "manly" to let it go...alive.

""It's wonderful news to hear of the existence of large breeding
animals, but from a conservation point of view, it was a shame the
shark was not released alive."

what was he supposed to do? release it when it's dead?

I think it should have gone to market and fed a lot of people.

People eat fish, including *sharks, even biggun's

That's not he only fresh water shark in existance.

Not the point. That fish was most likely a female and most likely
still breeding.

You want to keep fish like that in the water and producing more little
fishies.

Very good Capt. i do appreciat your explaination. and it does make
sens, but please re-note my mis-spelled disclaimer:

"That's not he only fresh water shark in existance. "

i know what you're saying, but I look at it as maybe not as big, that
species isn't endangered, also there's *propably* plenty more where
that came from.
