Be fun to get one of them critters on a line. Bummer if one gets ahold of you. -------------------- Marrdro "Go Vikes"

Member No.: 22395 MY BOAT: Fishin Fool - 31' Contender FA	We've caught tigers on the eastern shore side over the years and there are some BIG BOYS near the shoals. Like said above there are also some mighty mean bull sharks to be had as well. We caught a couple of bulls week before last off Lynnhaven while drifting for flounder... Definitely sharks with an attitude... Nice pic... Would like to have seen a side view, but they don't always want to pose for the camera... -------------------- Fishin Fool 31' Contender FA NAC www.norfolkanglersclub.com

One of my buddies, Kelly Capps holds the record for the largest Sand Tiger, 339 lbs caught in a DEEP hole near Cape Charles back in 1983. I think VBSF sponsor Captain Craig Paige still holds the record for the biggest Bull Shark, 256 lbs! The record "true" Tiger Shark is 1,099 caught offshore on the South East Lumps. -------------------- New from VBSF.net A Guide to fishing the South Carolina & Georgia Lowcountry!

Take a look at the shape of the head. Google Image search both species before making judgement.

I did do a Google search on both. Although not visible in the picture, the stripes you saw sound like those on a "true" Tiger. IV never targeted sharks, so IM certainly no expert .... -------------------- New from VBSF.net A Guide to fishing the South Carolina & Georgia Lowcountry!
