shark fishing is disgusting. apex predator populations have been decimated in the US water, not to discount approx 100 million sharks a year being caught.

'sport' fishing like that should be illegal.
 
they have given the fish to 'science'. that still doesnt solve the problem that the adult shark wont breed again.
sharks take a long time to reach sexual maturity and unlike other fish, their stocks dont just come back when a fishing ban is imposed.

Tiger sharks are dangerous yes. but in the right circumstances they are. so there was no reason to kill the fish for safety reasons. its was purely for sport.

go throw a fucking ball if you want sport, or at the very least, practice release catch.

so sad.

I don't understand, why would giving it to science mean it wouldn't breed again? When someone donates a huge bass to "science" it usually means it's entered specifically into a breeding program.

the fish is dead. there you go.
 
oh sorry, didn't know it was dead.

Was it that it they weren't able to keep it alive or did they kill it before lifting it out of the water?

Do you want a full-blown shark thrashing around on the deck of your boat?
 
they didnt want to keep it alive, they were 'sport' fishing to kill it, and bring it back to the shore to 'win a competition'.

so they were 6 minutes late and it turns out they not only killed it for fun, but for actually NO reason either.

pointless.
