Took 2:15 but finally landed this bad boy despite a broken roller tip.

9' 7" and about 350- 400 lbs (didnt weigh him since he was destined for the taxidermist !)

about 25 miles east of Cancun (Thanksgiving) in "The Trough"

We also (one other guy on board) boated 15 Jacks to compliment the Bullshark

my arms are TOAST ! :D

Well, that sure as hell ain't no turkey :eek: Looks like a great way to spend a day.

Nice shark!!

But, uh, I got a problem with it. You pretty much described the area I like to scuba when we go down there. :(

Dont know if Ill be doin much more of it..... :confused:

Thats one of the reasons the crew REALLLLLLLY didnt want to cut this badboy loose even if I didnt want it mounted. Bullsharks are some of the most aggressive near-shore pests around. They account for many "hit and runs" among swimmers and surfers etc.

Cozumel is still in ruins and I didnt have my usual dive partners on this trip so I skipped the cenotes until next time around.

I'll post pics of the final mount in about 3-4 months
