This year, the trick was to get the tarpon up and revived
before a 15 foot hammerhead snatched him from you.

15 feet! Nice fish story.

But here's a better and true one about a real 15 footer. :-)

"The shark was a great hammerhead.
****** It measured 15 feet, 6 inches and had a girth of 10 feet, 3 inches. It
weighed an incredible 1,475 pounds. The team from Miami also examined the catch
from head to tail. In the roof of the shark's mouth they counted 19 stingray
barbs, while in its bulging belly they found a 110-pound lemon shark. The lemon
shark was freshly eaten, sliced cleanly in half, and when added to the shark's
weight pushed the final tally to nearly 1,600 pounds-more than 600 pounds over
the current all-tackle world record."

Not a fish story. The shark is known locally by the name "Old Hitler"...but
most people consider him to be around 18 feet...not 15 feet.
