I found this when searching about shark fishing. He caught it 2 months ago. A 13 foot hammerhead has to be a little scary when you bring it alongside the boat.:scared:

Man Catches 13-Foot Hammerhead
(May 7) - A Florida fisherman reeled in a 13-foot-long hammerhead weighing more than 1,000 pounds, which could set a new world record for a shark of its class, WBBH-TV (http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readarticle.asp?articleid=29173&z=3) reported.
Bucky Dennis said he fought with the shark on his own for over two hours before he finally subdued in in waters near Boca Grande, Fla., on Tuesday.

Dennis told WBBH-TV the current record for a shark of this class is for a 620-pound creature caught in Texas in 1982. Dennis will have to submit paperwork to the International Game Fish Association in order for him to be awarded a world record.
In 2006, Dennis caught a hammerhead shark weighing more than 1,200 pounds in the same area. That shark broke a world record in a different class.
