Fort Lauderdale Florida Giant 13 Foot Hammerhead Shark! (ORIGINAL VIDEO)
Shark videos 10 years ago 1,531,450 views
Veli caught this massive hammerhead shark on Monday morning in Fort Lauderdale (Lauderdale-by-the-Sea). I came down to the beach to help him with the release of this monster. The beach was very crowded and it was very chaotic. The shark was bigger than our 12' measuring tape by 8-10 inches making this shark around 13 ft. We got this shark out of the water and back in very quickly to ensure its survival. This will be the short version of this video I will upload a longer version with a full fight later in the week. Thanks for watching, thanks to all those who made this video possible and stay tuned for more awesome videos! -InfinityFishingTeam

I'm curious cause that is one big shark, and if it was a male, that is impressive!
Hammerheads have to swim to breath.. this is so insulting to life itself.
Also destro warlocks rule
No evidence has ever been produced to support the idea that an animal could live successfully, and survive, without the ability to feel pain, an important warning sensation. It would result in inappropriate behavior, and the fish would go straight into evolution's garbage can. Only a small percentage of fish who come into the world live to adulthood, and any weakness would doom them."

So who is that directed to?
That's nice of you to see the hunting you do that way. Thankfully a lot of hunters were raised that way and continue those practices. I know many people don't see it that way, but I lived for a bunch of years in rural NC where hunting was a normal thing to bring food home the same way people have done it since the beginning of time. I tried, I just don't care to do the deer hunt thing, but I understand it. The large sharks such as Hammerheads are indeed majestic creatures. Me personally I've caught sharks and I suspect I will again. But I send them back. I have no issue with someone keeping species that are common but then a huge chunk of shark fishing these days is completely on a release basis. They want to protect the species that bring them the sport they enjoy. And don't worry about Hammerheads being killed as they are becoming protected in almost every area.When sharks are permitted to be taken in an area, you can rest assured they certainly aren't endangered. Fishing regulations these days ere on the side of caution. Keep up the good ethics you have and you can sleep happy knowing that most fisherman truly do care about the targets of their sport even if some people don't understand.
I have no reason to be aggressive and post things only as a way to add to the conversation or clarify things for people. I'm a decent person except for the rare occasion when somebody is completely offensive towards me and in that case it could go either way. :)
Actually, I grew up fishing there since I was 9 or 10. It's in the center of one of the main beach accesses and there are many people there around and under the pier everyday. The area isn't a huge shark fishing mecca or anything, but there are sharks in all the waters around Florida. This pier, in the "Old days" didn't allow shark fishing or even the use of reels appropriate for anything other than a shark for this reason. But even then, it wasn't like it didn't happen. But seriously, I never heard of, or ever saw anything in all those years of any type of shark incident. Lot's of other fish had been known to bite people, especially during certain times of the year. In other words, I wouldn't give it a second thought.
nice catch and thnx for not hurting him or her
He also won't eat animals because he loves them!! Jesus, what a naive tool. Grow up dude and read more.
NC = North Carolina and your english is fine. Thankfully (sometimes) in the US restrictions on fishing have become very tight. I'll answer better later.
I miss-read your post and thought it was directed at me. :) Oops! I hope I deleted it before you read it!
I actually respect your view. I've fished all my life, still do, and will until I finally move back to NC. (I don't like freshwater fishing. LOL) But everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I would never fault you for it. I have to admit though, I find myself trying to be more gentle releasing a fish than I used to. :)
But if I wasn't clear, I totally appreciate catch and release.
Well, taking a Hammerhead is illegal, and Mako's aren't. They also aren't considered a decent fish to eat, which a Mako is. I totally agree with releasing trophy fish, but Mako's can be kept because they're not considered at risk and if there was any harm in it the State or the Feds wouldn't allow it. So, don't sweat it, there was no harm.
That's the most common type you'ld find around there and the odds of actually seeing anything more extreme than that would be obscenely unlikely.
The people on the beach, especially during the day, is the reason that Shark fishing isn't allowed, or at least not encouraged at piers like this. There's a lot of beach Shark fishing in areas not heavily populated, especially at night though. Hammerheads are considered one of the few "Man eaters" and wasn't likely a billion miles out, though it probably did come in a bit following the scent. Just a guess though as sharks run up and down Florida beaches constantly.
also, sharks don't generally attack people , so
P.S its not a monster, its a work of nature/god
