This is an interesting topic 
What is your personal dream shark that you would like to catch? How big?
I would still like to catch a 10+ 550+ lbs. Bull Shark.
My biggest bull shark was an 8'10" bull with a 65" girth. Went 440-450 lbs.
I would love to catch double mega moster bull.

Caught everything but a mako off the beach. I'd also like to catch a fat boy Tiger 10ft or better.
And in the days that followed the islanders came to know him as kane mano, the shark hunter....... http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/gallery.asp?gallery=1718 "TEAM KANE MANO" "The 2008 Spring Unoffical PFF Shark Tourney Winners!"

I lost a big hammerhead from Navarre Beach when I was younger, and since then I've had it out for a big hammer. But, realisticly, I can't imagine being disappointed with any big shark, especially a big mako if she jumped! Fought one from the pier last year with a few jumps and I've been excited since then.

I'm agree with konz...anything big will do fine for me too...neighbor caught a huge nurse shark,,coolest thing I've seen in a while ( on a pompano rig)..yeah thats right....took 'm for ever to get 'm in.

| A bonnethead is a hammerhead, its just a smaller species. We have 4 species in the gulf I think. Smooth, great, scalloped and bonnetheads. Bonnets will top out at around 5 feet or so. Both smooth and scalloped will reach 13ft. Great hammerheads are the monsters of the family and will supposedly reach 18ft. in length. You can catch Great, scalloped and bonnets from the surf but I think smooth hammerheads prefer deeper water.

| I have never landed a shore based mako before, but that sounds really cool. How many good makos are landed each year? If is about the same number as big tigers? Deaver

Any shark 10' or bigger. Tigers and Makos have impressive jaws. They would look good next to my bull and blacktip jaws.

| Is that your 8'10" bull PF? Thats a monster bull for sure. The biggest i ever got was off a dock in terry's cove in Orange Beach. We didn't get a measurement cause we always release them and couldn't pull it up on the dock but we est. it at 8-8 1/2ft. and 400+. I don't have the link, but go to you-tube and search "Great White Hunters". Its pretty cool, these guys paddle baits out with a surfboard in australia or south africa and use a fighting chair mounted to the front of a truck to catch great whites from the surf!

| That was William Fundora's 8'8" Bull Shark. They got it a couple of months ago. I have seen that great white movie. There are some juvenile great whites off the coast of hatteras right now along the beach front. Just now willing to drive that far yet. Got some friends going to try for one in about two weeks.

| If I can get bait I'm going to give it a go on friday or saturday. I should be finished with my new shark rod by then and i need to try to break it in. The water over here (Al) has gotten so damn cold though I'm not sure how much success I'll have even though we've caught bulls and sandbars when the water was only 59 degrees(surface temp). I've also thought about fishing further east into florida.
