One of the nuts in the recent shark tournament out of Oak Bluffs,
Martha's Vineyard had to be medi-vac'd to the hospital. They pulled a
mako into the cockpit and the shark just about took his knee cap off.

I only went shark fishing once, back in the early 1970s with a friend of
my father. When the captain was sure he wanted to keep the shark (for
meat), he let it swim a bit away from the boat, and put several shotgun
slugs into it. He'd apparently seen too many cabin windows turned into
crumbs by flailing tails.


This guy is a friend of mine and maintains a great website on New England
sharks. Good info.
