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.
