I was at Madeira beach today , near johns pass . I'm in some touristy store and stumble across this set of tiger shark jaws.
I can't decide if I think they are awesome, and want to buy them or if I'm disgusted that someone killed such an amazing creature.im guestimating this was about a 10ft tiger maybe.if I did buy them is that better than harvesting my own or am I feeding the fire of over-harvest ?Or maybe I'm just pissed that it's one less that I ever have a chance of catching, idk ? Part of me thinks this fish should be protected, since I don't see enough of them. What are your thoughts on shark jaws ?
they did a horrible job shaping those.
probably came from a long liner or commercial guy seeing how you cant sell fish without a license.
I'd give NOAA a call and have this conversation with them. Every time I order shark tags, we chit-chat about conservation, harvest and the balance between the two. They have given me valuable information for me to make better decisions about sharks and shark products.
Their number is 877-826-2612.
