Jaws got him one

When I flew up and down South Padre Island in Texas while a crew member of the Navy's Search and Rescue crew, I was able to see from above what was swimming among the swimmers. Haven't been in the ocean much since. Some big ass sharks 50 yards or less from shore.

The biggest tiger shark ever caught on rod & reel was caught back in the 1960s off the Cherry Grove pier, not a boat. Someone supposedly broke the record a few years ago, but the shark caught in the 60s was not weighed until the next day, when they finally found a scale big enough. So that shark lost alot of weight to dehydration.

Probably weighed close to a ton when it was still swimming.
