last friday we caught the biggest tiger that we have ever seen…
conservative estimate is 15 foot. took just about an hour to get it
to the surface for identification… 20 pound equipment so we took it
easy…
i think it just came up for a look as it never seemed to get in a hurry… horseshoe area off g’town.
no pics unfortunately

saw a little 6 ftr there sat, he was kinda cute!
“Conservative” 15 ft. would have gotten you within sight of a state record. Nice job on “20 lb. equipment”. Yeeeah, riiiight…
no way to put it in boat, even if it was a state record… also…
2 anglers on the rod… so would not meet the requirements…
never even thought about a record, but i will if it happens again.

Biggest tiger shark
On June 14, 1964, Walter Maxwell made one of the most incredible catches of all time. He was fishing from the Cherry Grove pier near Myrtle Beach, S.C., when he landed the current world-record tiger shark, which weighed a tremendous 1,780 pounds. Using a 16/0 reel that held 1,400 yards of 130- pound test line, he managed to land the 13-foot, 11-inch fish after just 4-1/2 hours.
Congrats…you released the new world record Tiger shark!

well…
given the info from sellsfish, maybe we were wrong on the estimate
on length… we were in a 30 foot boat and all 4 of us thought it
was +/- 1/2 of the boatlength… however… i must in all fairness
point out that none of us does anything for a living that helps us to estimate length…
also, i hate to think that we in fact did release a new record.
but, in all honesty… i think that it would have given the record a
run for it’s money.
what’s the world’s record on rod and reel?

that is the all tackle record on R&R
that tax collector would not be fun to meet with a full stringer…gives a new meaning to “wet suit”

i would post pictures of tigers hanging around my buddies boat last week off NC, but cant figure out how to post.
I was thinking it was a 2k fish on 20 lb… They look big in the water…especially when you are in the water…
