i had a great week fishing last week. took 5 days off from work and it didnt disappoint. we caught the goliath at big carlos pass 49" x 42" around 100#. and the hammer the next night on ft myers beach 7ft exactly. we landed all the lemons on sanibel wednesday night. 5 8", 6 4" and 7 8".
also we think the hammer is a scallloped hammer, if anyone thinks its not can u please explain why. i have had a few people say its a great hammer. enjoy

Nice sharks, that looks more like a small greater hammer than a scalloped.
Just an average fisherman.
Nice catches there guys,no it's not a scalloped, those goliaths can become annoying when your trying to shark!
Nice sharks man!!!!!!!
You can tell a scalloped because there head is rounder and a great has a relatively strait head.
you can also say its a hammer by the dorsal fin...great catches
great report guys! nice looking sharks!
I like seeing a hammer from that beach that's very cool!
That is my guess now as well after reading the link you sent me the other day. Scalloped HH can be browny colored as well. It was a fun catch and I hope we can catch a bigger one. I feel sorry for the Lemmon that I am sitting on. Next time we need a bigger shark. lol.
Too bad about losing that big fish the other night.
CONGRATULATIONS on a good week of sharking.Good to see hammers caught from that area.
ps...it's a greater hammerhead and the first and most significant sign is the sickle shaped dorsal fin.Scalloped has a rounded tip dorsal and the head is more round whereas the Greater is almost straight
