Sorry, must have misread, I thought it said 99 lbs. Yes, quite a difference.

NOYB,
According to this Maryland web site, the record Hammerhead catch was
191 lbs for a scalloped 8/20/93, and 165 lbs for a smooth. They were
taken by Ocean City. Didn't say what the length was.
http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries...rt/record.html I know one
time when fishing from a party boat off of Tarpon Springs a hammerhead
surfaced that was much heavier than 99 lbs. Sure looked all of 15 feet.
Near everybody took a step back from the rail. :-)

Maryland has baby hammerheads. The IGFA record, as Capt. Bill said, is
991 lbs...caught by Allen Ogle, Sarasota, FL, May 30, 1982.
