Anyone know the Florida state record or USA record for a land based tiger shark? I caught a pretty good one and was just wondering.

Earnie holds it for land based (epolk username) I believe it is around 1075lbs, but I'm not sure.

Well I'm an idiot...at the time I wasn't thinking it could be a record, I assumed since tigers get a lot bigger it was too small. I only got the rough total length and some pics, no girth or fork length. Guess I learned for next time!

It's ok, the hammer record has been beat over a dozen times and the bullshark record has been very close. None of them were submitted. It's not a big deal, the same people will remember your catch by sharing it here than if you made it in the books.
