Not to take away from the kids catch ( I know i dont want to fight a bull for 3 hours) but we all know that bulls, hammers, and blacktips are fairly easy to target and are more of a pain than they're worth. Im not trying to start a debate or arguement, i just want to hear what the "pros" think.  |
The boy probably wanted to get his line and fishing rig back.

I believe that Mark the Shark also uses shark carcasses to feed the crabs and other scavengers in the canal. I see shark parts all over his backyard and spinal cords of fish in the canal out back of his house. So I think he is getting some additional ancillary benefit besides the charter, touristy souvenirs and the photo-ops. Who knows, maybe he even fertilizes with fish parts too.
