I don't recall seeing a bigger catch filmed on an avet 80. I watched again the video and seems that he has yellow braided line in the beginning on the video and white line (topshot) at the end of the fight. Still the mono as a topshot did the job well - and the braid.

AWESOME FIGHT,AWESOME CATCH AND RELEASE BY A VERY GOOD GROUP OF CONSERVATION MINDED LAND-BASED SHARK SHARK FISHERMAN.GREAT JOB ON EDITING THE VIDEO INCORPORATING SPONSORS AND MUSIC AT THE END ,BUT THE MOST IMPRESSIVE ATTRIBUTE OF THIS VIDEO IS THE ANGLERS DETERMINATION TO RELEASE HIS SHARK ELEVATING LAND-BASED SHARK FISHING TO A HIGH PLACE.

THIS TIGER SHARK CATCH IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THIS IS THE BIGGEST TIGER SHARK EVER 'VIDEOTAPED' CAUGHT FROM A PIER ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET.

ERNIE POLK'S 12 FT 9 INCH TIGER SHARK CAUGHT LAST YEAR ON FLORIDA'S PANHANDLE WAS BIGGER BUT WAS CAUGHT ON A BEACH. WALTER MAXWELL'S 1780 LB WORLD RECORD TIGER CAUGHT ON CHERRY GROVE PIER (SOUTH CAROLINA) IN 1964 WAS ALSO BIGGER BUT THAT CATCH WAS NOT FILMED.

LOVED THE WAY ALBERT ZERTUCHE STUCK UP FOR HIS CONVICTIONS & CATCH AND RELEASE SHARK FISHERMAN WHEN AN ONLOOKER ON THE PIER DURING THE FIGHT SAYS " what do you mean you're gonna release it,,you can get a bigger set of jaws" and Albert shot back "that's all it is a bigger set of jaws,,,,,, I'm not even gonna answer that -the answer is NO"

Great to see a Texas tiger shark of that size caught once again after so many yeras and by a group of conscientious shark fisherman

Awesome fish guys! I daydream of fish like this... I get my share of tippers and small bulls, and a few Jew dogs. I have yet to tussel with any true sea monsters. I dream of the day I get my hammer or Tiger :)

I listened several times to the comments ,at the end of the video. If i heard correctly, the measurements calculate out to 1083 lbs. Truly a great catch, and it lives to fight another day. :o :o
