JAWS 8/21/10 It Surfaces - 9 Feet and 300 Pounds

The existing state record for the blacktip shark is 135 pounds and has stood for 25 years. My fish broke the record by 100 pounds and being unaware of this at the time I released it. To have it weighed in I would have had to tow it about 5 miles to a marina.

We have submitted these several videos and photos to the South Carolina Dept. of Natural Resources to be reviewed by a biologist there with the hope that this blacktip shark will be in the book as the new state record.

what do you do in a situation like that? just cut the string and let him go? or does he eventually work his way free?
