The exclusive club that few can claim membership to; the 1000 lb plus mark is not an easy task from land and only a handful of anglers have ever achieved it.This monster shark stands as one of the greatest catches ever from land anywhere in the world and was an inspiration for me as a young man to spend many days and nights on a pier,bridge or beach in search of that monster tiger or giant hammerhead.I hope you all enjoy the story it is part of shark fishing history.
