OAK BLUFFS, Mass. -- It wasn't too little, but it was too late.

Fishermen who hauled in a massive 1,100 pound tiger shark off Massachusetts this past weekend failed to capture first place in the monster shark derby on Martha's Vineyard.



Justice served against the man eaters!!!

3. I saw it on the news. It was a big one!

[biscodawg]

:P

[BikeWriter]

7. It doesn't now!

[TreasonousBastard]

5. Thass one big-ass fish, but I hate...

to see it killed just because it's a big-ass fish.

Even if it is a maneater.

8. I wonder how old it was, being that big

:shrug:

It would be great if they could figure out some other way to have a contest besides killing it.

I don't think I've seen one that big hanging up before. :scared:

[biscodawg]

11. if you cut it open

you can count the rings inside and determine its age, oh wait thats for trees

[LeftyMom]

22. They do something similar with shark vertebrae

but they don't have a fixed 1 ring/yr ratio liike trees do, there are different ratios of rings/yr for different species.

9. I wish people would just LEAVE THEM ALONE.

They serve a purpose, and if we would just pay attention, humans would never be threatened by them. Can you imagine how many years it took to grow to that size, and someone kills it for a "contest"..

We are a wicked species.. We kill just for the fun of it :puke:

[progmom]

14. i totally agree

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

15. I agree too... that picture made me angry.

At least eat the shark... but they won't. They will probably stuff it and mount it on a wall... a very big wall. :eyes:

[In_The_Wind]

10. OH NO ! I'm heading south

[Zuni]

12. that is a massive shark for Mass.---kinda like Jaws

:hide:

[biscodawg]

13. and if i remember correctly

wasnt jaws filmed off marthas vineyard, or do i smoke too much crack?

[sundog]

16. just one man's way of trying to increase the size of his testicles

hope his boat gets lost at sea :7

[biscodawg]

17. dont they have enzyte or whatever that is called for that?

Look at bob, he is happy now :D :*

[sundog]

20. ah!

a :*

then all is forgiven :P

[FLSurfer]

18. AAAaarrrggghhhh

Will we never learn. Killing that shark should be a crime, not a celebration.

[leftofthedial]

19. I wonder if it has a ruptured eardrum.

poor thing

[SuperWonk]

21. Re:

Man might be at the top of the food chain, but that sure doesn't make them the smartest.

[ronnykmarshall]

23. That's one big ass fish.

Too bad it didn't take a chunk outta one of them assholes that killed it.

What a bunch'a shit.
