They will likely do a DNA test on it to confirm without question that it is a Great White then they will charge him. The fines are steep.

No doubt they have a data base of very bad great white sharks with a "record". Jaws comes to mind.

I'm pretty sure he's serious and I think he's correct. Prior to charging him they will biologically verify genus and species.... Then it's game time.

Ridiculous. Write the guy a ticket and move on. He killed a shark not a person.

The sanctimonious, romantic attitude people get about great whites is hilarious. When you are slaughtering Makos with one hand then waggling your finger at someone with the other hand...there is no credibility there.

I personally see no point at all in shark fishing. It is non-sporting, boring, and smelly.

Makos and Great Whites look a lot alike......the DNA test is the absolute proof needed in court for the feds to obtain a conviction....

I was actually half thinking the same - but I really know veryvery little about fish and fishing- I don't go offshore anymore and catch bluefish and an occassional striper if they are so stupid as to almost jump in the boat and have plenty of fun just catching and releasing them - I found using single hooks and taking the barbs off the hooks you can usually almost just let the swim off the hook afetr yo get them near the boat... My kids almost died laughing one day as I was backing down a bit too close into a feeding frenzy of blues in the river here and one actually jumped into the engine well- as we were leaving we found baitfish all over the front of the boat

I actually have 3 fishing boats right now and basically pretend to fish unless I am out with friends that really like to catch stuff. Usually, the fish pretend to bite so it works out well. Just love being out on the water with family and friends.....

Onceat Montaulk we stopped to see them weigh in the supposedly record shark of some unusual kind that was riddled with bullet holes - really disgusting sight for the kids ....


Anyway I am now wondering if even the law enforcement types have to do a DNA test, how is the regular fisherman supposed to know? Take out a Q-tip and get a saliva swab from the mouth and sent it in?

The best way to know is to not boat them. I have caught plenty but never put one in the boat. I figure let them stay in the water an I will stay in the boat.

some locals are saying they heard the cap't on the radio announce he had a great white..uh oh.

as a surfer who believes in karma i've never killed a shark or tasted it. i have been on boats however that made a few say uncle.

there are less than 10K great whites left so they are protected. two summers ago the same one was caught twice(nd released) in gardiner's bay. (near montauk).
