[roadtripfam]

[thelastmucci]

That's nuts..really nuts.

[roadtripfam]

Yeah, I was surf casting off rockaway beach, had the rod in the sand spike my reel started screeming lifted the rod set the hook and started bringing him in. I thought it was a striped bass, but what wonderfull surprise when i beached him, then i thought hmmmmm should i hmmmm, and i did yep i put him i the tank. LOL

Jeez 12in sharks should be kept in 100g or more. That looks at least 2-3 feet! Cool shark though, where did you catch it?

[roadtripfam]

He's happily back in the ocean.

[e_baer]

i hope hes not used to hand feeding

[Tonz of fun]

That is so sick. We go deep see fishing on my dads boat all the time. Its sick. We get Mahi Mahi, king fish, red snapper, and MACOs all the time. next time we go ill have to remember this lol. Thats funny.

[michelle's ocean fantasy]

Wow! This one is beautiful!

[c-c]

That WAS IMPRESSIVE! The next thing you need is a bigger tank... not smaller fish.

[roadtripfam]

when i caught him he did'nt seem so big. so when i placed him in the tank he looked huge, he was so big he could'nt turn. So me and the wife got him out. I put the 12" net around the head and my wife grabbed the tail and we lifted him or her out. Ran across the street and put him the bay.

[e_baer]

well, that is a good thing that you did that. what type of shark was it? just think....that one could be a man eater!

[thelastmucci]

I still think it's amazing that you had a real to goodness shark in a tank...wow.

[krissy]

That is cool!

[roadtripfam]

Don't know what kind it was, but it had a black tip on it's dorsal fin

[e_baer]

perhaps a black tip reef shark?

[roadtripfam]

kinda looks like it?

[e_baer]

Im not sure, I didnt see it in person.......

[Jeremy0322]

Did you contemplate selling him to someone that had a bigger tank. I am sure he would have showed a pretty penny depending on the person $$$

[aquasalt]

Photoshoped it yourself or googled it, that is the question?

[gudar]

that is so amazing! i might be getting a bamboo cat shark this week i'm so siked

[DEWAYNE]

gudar, are you going to buy the egg, or the shark? the eggs are really cool to have, you can actually see the shark swimming, yes swimming around in there, it will surprise you when they hatch at the size, compared to the egg. I have a banded coral shark, in an egg for 2 1/2 to 3 months, and was lucky enough to watch him hatch with my two kids, it was luck, guess it took about 10/15 seconds.

[aquasalt]

I'd love to see some pictures, Dewayne. Do you still have him?
