The story mentions the shark fishermen had a club bumper-sticker.... 
A dead, fish-hooked, pregnant hammerhead shark washed ashore on Delray Beach, but its 35 pups could not be saved, despite efforts by researchers, police said.
The 13-foot shark washed up around 3 p.m. Wednesday in the 200 block of North Ocean Boulevard and a large crowd gathered around it. A fish hook had to be removed from the shark's mouth. Police are not investigating because it is unclear where the hook came from and whether a crime was committed, police spokesman Jeff Messer said.
"Hammerheads can be recreationally and commercially harvested," Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman Gabriella Ferraro said. "They are not a prohibited species."
A witness did see fishermen in the area around 5 a.m. Wednesday. They had a camper pickup with a shark fishing club bumper sticker, police said.
The remains of the shark were buried on the beach nearby.

Of course the Scum sentinel exaggerates the size for effect as 13ft and yet the video maker states 10ft.....
I've seen the picture on some blogs and that hammer seems to be every bit of 13 feet and I can guarantee you if someone in the 2010 BHC would of caught it -it would be in the lead right now,the fisherman would be bragging about it i'm sure,and it's pictures would be in the BHC thread.Who ever caught that shark should of been smart enough not to be fishing Delray again and smart enough to take the dead shark off the beach.I have my suspicions as to the lucky fisherman but as a responsible land-based shark fisherman I will guard my opinion and protect this sport til the end.As far as someone seeing a SFSC bumper sticker on Delray I doubt it,and we're used to being the scapegots and then again our bumper stickers are all over Florida.

Sad day indeed when the general public are made to believe such lies created by a few well educated people twisting the truth to fit there own agenda against under represented land-based fisherman.We at the South Florida Shark Club practice catch and release.Not only do we promote and practice catch and release ,we are actively involved in tag and release of sharks in order to help in there research.In our 2010 Big Hammer Challenge we are working with NMFS's Apex Tagging Program to tag as many sharks as possible during our month long tournament.In years past we have worked with Dr Sonny Gruber,Dr Jose Castro,Dr Charles Manire and a few others to help in there shark research.
Let's be fair here and stop attacking the recreational shark fisherman who are not responsible for the decline in shark stocks.The truth is ninetyfive percent of today's shark fisherman practice catch and release, so why do you continue your campaign to discredit us?We also are passionate about sharks and there survibility but don't believe for one minute that we will sit back and allow you the overzealous preservationist to step all over our rights as Americans and furthermore as tax paying fisherman of Florida. It is irresponsible and unfair to make the land-based shark fisherman seem like the one's responsible for the plight of sharks.You all know the truth about the declining shark populations but you continue to leave it out of your arguements.The Asiatic nations and there 20 mile longlines and hunger for shark fin soup caused the declining stocks so why are the American recreational fisherman constantly attacked?.You are pathetic and powerless to rule the nations that are responsible and so destructive to the sharks annualy killing millions of them so you mistakenly and aggresively attack the recreational fisherman.SHAME ON YOU!!!! The next rights to be attcked will be yours and our American way of life will exist only in your memory.
Once in while a pregnent shark will die after efforts to release are unsuccesful as in all forms of fishing but that occurs less then five percent of the time.You really want to help the worldwide stocks of sharks lets=
1) Start a petition to ban all commercial fishing for sharks
2)Start a Boycott of all chinese made products to protest there longlines
3)Build a consortium of nations to ban commercial shark fishing on a worldwide basis
Stop your unfair campaign and get real.God help us all.
