Ok…I got the pics, who can I send them to? Never figured out the whole posting pics thing.
Just sent them your way.
The boat “Bonsai” pulled it into the creek with a line wrapped around the tail, dragging it in the water.

yeah cause there’s a huge chance there was more than one large tiger shark brought back in the same vicinity of shem creek
the shark in the pic has been “finned”. It was caught by a commercial boat. Fins are where the real money is…not the meat.

I know that all the money is in the fins. I was not trying to attack sellsfish.
I just think it is a bit of a waste and a large boating hazard to be floating around in the waterway.
also…if they dumped the remains in shem creek THAT is against the law

i just busted a bunch of guys here in texas for doing something similar except it was for a tourney and they were gutting the fish so they would sink. It is highly illegal for a commercial fishermen to do that and it is also illegal for a recreational fishermen to dump a gamefish after killing it. I wish the guys in Texas had all of ya’lls mentality about conservation. It makes me miss South Carolina more and more when I see these yahoos waste fish all the time and then complain about laws limiting their catch.
When I worked at Cherry Point as a deck hand a shark fishermen landed a 17ft tiger. They finned it and the game warden over saw the fishermen cut it up and box it for sale. If that fish is floating then the DNR should be reported so they can back track because normally a DNR guy will match the fins to the fish once a shark fisherman has landed.

Curious… Which part is illegal? Not eating the shark or dumping it into the creek? I’ve never seen anyone get a ticket for throwing a cleaned fish carcas in the water, but I have no idea about the legality of it.
Also, I agree that it “seems” like a waste, but that’s probably what people think about me when I throw a fish carcas away as they think about the good fish head soup that they could be making with it!
In this case, it is a commercial fishermen and if the fins have value and the meat does not, what is the commercial shark fisherman to do? From what I understand, this guy is a pretty well respected and law obiding citizen.
In the grand scheme of things, there are always two sides to the story, but this is the type of example the enviro’s will run with to make all fishing look like a meaningless and destructive practice.
Im so confused. What’s the story on both sharks?

Skinnee I know when I worked at a commercial dock on wadmalaw Caleld Cherry Point, that a commercial fisherman can not just fin a shark and then dump it. He has to clean it and sell the meat. There is a market for shark meat but it is not as pricey as fins or other commercial fish. If it is just a carcass like the back bone and skin then that is legal but if he cut the fins off and head then dumped the body then that is illegal. If you go to any federal wildlife and fisheries website and search shark finning you will read about the legalalities (sp) of shark finning.
I hope I helped you out.
