Im not a doomsday guy....im not trying to scare anyone....im also not gonna sugar coat the situation and make another comment about how great the sharks are and how its just the normal way of things.
This is the truth
These sharks are over protected, over glorified, and far from being endangered. I fished on the biggest federally permitted shark operation in the United States!! We were the top producing shark boat in the USA for 10 consecutive years in a row, we also sat on the council for shark fishing at the national marine fisheries. You may have been led to believe sharks were over fished....and they might be in certain parts of the world, but here in the US, and bahamas they are booming to the point of over population because of lopsided protection policies that have allowed them to be disproportionate to the rest of the ecosystem. How do I know this you ask....because we were also the top research boat also !! We participated in more tracking and tagging programs than anyone else in Florida. I was ridiculed and harassed by activists and protesters. I was labeled a monster and a butcher, and had to fight in court to have images of me that were used with out my consent to wrongfully accuse me of illegal shark finning.....I was a legal shark finner for 20 years.....it was a glorious job and was similar to fighting in the coliseum every day !! Limited and monitored shark fishing is necessary folks....as ugly and bloody, and gory as it is !!
