Did you read about the great white shark attach up in NJ ?
Didnt realize they were up that far.....

I haven't seen my copy for a number of years but as I remember it the
"Mclean's Encyclopedia of fishing" indicated that worlds highest
concentration of great whites are actually found off the N.J. coast.

A recent meeting of the Mass. Striped Bass Assoc. had a talk by a
charter Captain who specializes in sharks. Three commonly caught sharks
in Ma. is the porbeagle, great white, and blue. Again, If I remember
correctly, two of the three that hold the Mass. record are actually
larger then the IGFA record catches. They, of course, are not IGFA
records because, for one reason or another, they did not meet the IGFA
criteria.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water.

What's even more interesting is that the official Mass state record
eclipses the IFGA record by a healthy amount if I remember correctly -
something like 300 lbs or thereabouts.

I wonder why the IFGA disallowed the record? Probably because it
wasn't an IFGA Charter Captain or member. :)

Some strange rules. Friend of mine caught the largest sport caught Albacore
a few years ago. 90#'s. By himself in his Grady, that did have a transom
door, so he could get it in the boat. The tuna feather, had a standard
double hook, but since the shanks were not welded together, no record.
