Hey guys, I just saw this story on espn. I was just wanting to hear some opinions on killing a fish like this. I know world records are important to some people, but I think it would be hard for me to kill an awesome creature like that. What do you think?

From another forum ....

Asked if he feels bad for the impressive creature, Bucky said, “Not really”.

"If he was to eat somebody one day it was worth it to get rid of him. They eat so many tarpons out there. That's how so many of us make money," says Bucky. "

Supposedly this shark was a SHE, and she was PREGNANT with quite a number of pups.

Te worst part of this, is that for every Floridian that thinks this is an outrage, there will be 17 tourists that will want to catch a big shark and get their picture made alongside the carcass.

I live in Mississippi, but usually make several trips every year to the salt. My biggest catch yet was a 69" black tip shark. I was honored to have caught such an awesome fish and could not imagine killing it. The fisherman's comments about his catch was asinine to say the least. If we killed everything that had the potential to harm a human, then there would be very little wildlife left!

I don't agree with killing a beautiful creature like that . . . just for a world record, whoopee.

Like I have said before, I only kill what I am going to eat. Had to keep a smallmouth bass once because she was gut hooked, broke my heart.

DAVE  BBQ 

Is it time yet??????
