Big Bull shark for sure but we never see any pictures that can help us really appreciate it's enormous size.My guess is 800-900 lbs.Said to be 4 meters long or 13 feet and between 550 to 600 Kiligrams,,,,,thats almost 1300 pounds .I'd like more proof of this myself.Here's the link to the story.WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?CAN IT WEIGH 1300 POUNDS?

hard to tell with those pictures, that one that was caught by JD Hammer's friends at the sticks in Key Biscayne was definitely close to 700lbs :o

That is a real surf board eater. it favors a white shark it is so fat. Its nice to know the posibilities. One time at the pcola bay bridge we hooked one that almost striped a 16/0 and just let go of the bait. the mouth print in the head half of a 30lb jack crevell was huge. one half round chunk bigger than i had ever seen. That is a dream fish.

Absolutely no way that fish is 1300 pounds. It's a huge bull, but nothing close to that size.
