Monster 1100-Pound Tiger Shark Caught In Martha's Vineyard
Fisherman on Martha's Vineyard, Mass. display a massive 1,100-pound tiger shark Sunday, July 17, 2005. Unfortunately, the fisherman failed to capture first place in the monster shark derby because their boat was six minutes too late in returning to Oak Bluffs harbor with its catch.

Damon Sacco, who caught and killed an 1,100 pound Tiger Shark, considers the feat a great one, but is heartbroken his team didn't win the cash prize because they missed the deadline by six minutes.
They were late because they had to slowly and carefully drag the massive beast back to the harbor. Although the shark didn't win the competition, it did win the admiration of other fisherman.
I like the tiger shark picture it's very good
to bad people want to sale this picture
for lots of money.
i will on log another time :)
Ok, so you caught a shark ! wow, how many ' men ' did it take ? Pitty the
shark didn't have an even chance .... Wow now that you proved yourself you
can go home and beat your chest ... your ' woman ' will think more of you !
Tell me do you also own a big dog and a sports car ? ;-) ...... lacking
something ? Full name placed here.
This to me does not look like a task that displays 'admiration'. What do
you think? Catching and killing a magnificent animal just so it can be
strung up and added to someone's trophy list. You should be ashamed of
yourselves. I would like to hear your defence, what do you say? "It was
coming right for us!"? Hardly, this creature had no chance. Just like the
rest of the sharks caught at this competition. Then is no valour, heroism
or 'admiration' in this act.
KILLERS!!!!! leave the nature in peace KILLERS!!
wow u guys are pussies. i bet all of you who post the comments on animal
rights probably ate beef or some lifestock for dinner. get a life.
Animal rights have everything to do with this you numbnut. This shark
wasn't farm raised for the purpose of feeding people. SHARK KILLERS are
just that. Murderous jackasses. I didn't eat beef for dinner last night,
nor any fowl or swine. Im not a vegetarian or a vegan. I JUST REALIZE THAT
EATING ANIMAL FOR EVERY MEAL IS STUPID. By the way you too are an
animal....... if only another species had the numbers to fight back against
the stupid human race. Yes OUR stupid human race. destroy anything we touch
in the name of God or for Pride..... such a joke. Look at the
"men" in this picture.... they couldnt fight an 8 yr old girl without
cheating.
Wow, this is absolutely mind-boggling. How stupid can human race get?
Sharks have been around since the beginning of time and humans find it
amusing? If you find this acceptable you're a complete moron.
these pics make me sick, i hope the ppl are pround of themselves killing a
bearly grown tiger shark, it was all for nothing, fukin pricks
I agree. Some people have to over compensate for the tiny twig and berries
they have in their trousers. Its pathetic. Im a sportsman myself, mainly
catch and release unless its a very tasty fish and I then only keep what me
and my family will eat. All else goes back in the lake, river, or ocean.
But to kill these already threatened animals for sport is sad. If you want
to catch them for sport fine, but why not tag and release them so that
scientist can gather information to better the odds of survival of the
species? Im no vegitarian, but I believe as my native american ancestors
practiced ... only take from the land what you can use. Killing only for
sport shows low intelligence and over abundant testosterone in my book.

Is this a compettition to catch innocent sharks to win a contest? if it
is,, poor animal!! -_-
Yeah you tree hugging panzi;s dont get it....That is a tiger shark....that
is an animal that is large enough to eat a small child who is on vacation
with his commie pinko fag parents when all of the sudden.....no legs, gee
why not fish the big ones out and continue to let the species breed, is it
not obvious that its a mature adult...not like they were killing babys in
the nest...... Great catch guys...thanks for saving a few boaters in
distress....what pound test did you use I wonder? come lets get a few outta
the waters off NC.
Hey all you shark loving fools who have posted your profanity laden
responses, I thought you'd like to know that animals kill for fun too.
Have you ever seen a killer whale play with a dead seal by tossing it 50
feet in the air repeatedly? It's pretty entertaining. I had a cat that
would do the same thing with mice, birds, rabbits, etc. I hope that
someday you'll be blessed with the opportunity to swim with a bunch of 1
ton tiger sharks and see how noble and sweet they are when you're out there
in the great deep. Actually, bring a lot of chum and tuna with you when
you go. Feed as many as you can! Oh, and bring all your shark loving
friends. I'm sure they'll want to enjoy the experience with you. Don't
forget to take pictures and video!!!! As for me, looking at these pics of
a 1 ton fish just makes me hungry, and I don't even know what tiger shark
tastes like.
