    Guess the First Shark Weight-

    I'm guessing the 1st shark decked will be 70lbs.

    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#
