Land Based Shark Species
Land based shark fishing has had some popularity since the early 1900s. Like other big game fish, sharks were initially fished from big game boats, and the activity was expensive. Some of the more sought species include large tiger sharks and hammerhead sharks, with sizes exceeding 500 lbs. Many land based shark fishermen use catch and release techniques to return sharks to the water after capture.

Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.”

Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“For my own part I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed: and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
