Guess the First Shark Weight-
I'm guessing the 1st shark decked will be 70lbs.
Add your guess here.

If the intended shark doesn't get sharked and is landed whole, I say 57lbs.

I'll guess 85 lbs.
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

A legal length Blacktip shark (54" FL) should weigh about 65#
I'd guess the first @ about 5 feet FL (60" FL), that should weigh around 90#

97lbs winner gets a permit for the date of his or her choosing ?
I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
