12-Foot, 550-Pound Hammerhead Caught fishing - GoFuckYourself.com

Danny Ficocello pulled the shark in along Flagler Beach. He told Eyewitness News that just outside the waves there's a deep spot, with big fish. In fact, it is the same spot where a shark last week bit right through a woman's surfboard.

The shark measured more than 12 feet long, about 550 pounds, and it's by far the biggest thing Ficocello has ever seen some out of the water.

"I'll be pumped for years! That's the catch of a lifetime right there," he said.
After putting out his bait at Flagler Beach Saturday night, he fished for two hours with no bites, but then it hit and he knew it was big.

"I hopped up cause I knew something picked it up and then it just started screaming, whiiirrrr, and it didn't stop for a good half hour. I couldn't stop that fish," he said.

His reel spun so fast he had to get water to cool it off. It turned into a three-hour battle that ended with him recruiting 12 people to actually pull the shark ashore.

"When we were trying to pull it up onto the pier, it was bigger than the pier. We had to use a truck," said eyewitness Matt Grosse.

The full fish was so big, he couldn't keep it. Just the head measures almost a yard from tip to tip. It's so big he's still not sure how he can keep just the head.

"My first thought was, 'What am I going to do with this now?'" he said. "it blew my mind and a lot of my buddies' minds, too."

It may be the biggest thing seen around Flagler Beach in some time, but the shark is actually far from the state record. The biggest hammerhead ever pulled in weighed almost twice as much as the one Ficocello caught, close to 1,000 pounds.

Wow, imagine catching that

No, this was caught just north of Daytona beach.

The really big Hammerheads are on the west coast around Boca Grande especially durning the Tarpon runs.

"So far in 2007, Volusia County has seen 12 shark bites. Ten of them have been just south of the Ponce Inlet jetty, including two over the weekend."

That was my favorite swimming hole from 1985-2000 as a kid. The water was always unusually warmer & cloudy colored. Never saw a shark attack though, i guess fish were more plentiful back then.

It is getting that way for sure. You hear more incidents lately and makes you scared of swimming in the ocean.

ClubMicah · 09-27-2007, 01:54 PM

teg0 · 09-27-2007, 01:56 PM

what do you do with one after you've caught it? people don't eat hammerhead do they?

geeknik · 09-27-2007, 02:03 PM

Sweet. I'd love to catch something like that. Mount that fucker up on the wall. ;)

You don't even need the fish to get a mount made anymore, just a few pics. and measurements. No need to kill the shark.

What is wrong with killing the shark? Will we get over run by other fish we can eat?

Jesus what a bullshit! Getting into your car every day is WAAAAAAY more fucking likely than ever getting attacked by a shark.

OzMan · 09-27-2007, 03:52 PM

If he wasn't gonna eat it he shoulda let it go.

Man, still bs, look up shark attack statistics. They are so rare! Yes you drive more but thats not the point. Driving a car once is more dangerous than swimming in the ocean once.
