You so-called sportsmen have the gall to question an angler who caught and legally kept a single fish......... It's absolutly NONE of your business, if you had caught it- then you could have released it. He didn't even waste it, it was donated to science.. Find something else to B**** about B - Bryan Miller Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:41:10 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-38 You people need to get off of your high horses. He did nothing illegal, and it is sooo convenient to snub your noses in the air and point your fingers. Your all a bunch of hipocrites. Hammerheads are NOT endangered so he can keep what he wants. Don't you know the media is full of crap. - Vincent V Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:13:24 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-37 ...If every 1000 plus pound Great Hammer head caught on rod and reel were kept , there would be an entry about every 24 years it's likely. There definately are larger Hammerheads than that, but landing them on fishing tackle is a very low percentage game! - olhippie Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:59:30 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-22 I was told by a fellow Captain in Charlotte Harbor,that Bucky is using Tarpon to catch his records. - inpain Mon, 11 May 2009 12:16:41 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-21 He does not know what to do with his latest catch...Shouldn't he have thought about that before he stuck his line in the water. What a moron. I think I'll go shoot a couple elephants, maybe there is another useless record to break in the name of sport. - LarryM Thu, 07 May 2009 13:03:28 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-19 I can't beleive anyone like this could call themselves a sportsman, not once does he kill but twice now.. So Capt-T what happened to your theory of one every 24 years? Bucky Dennis is no angler, sportsman, or gentleman in my book, get off the water! What a yahoo, even looks like the typical poacher to me. - fishbonz Wed, 06 May 2009 13:12:11 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-18 http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readarticle.asp?articleid=29173&z=3 It looks like Bucky Dennis doesn't care at all about the shark population in South Florida. I'm sure when there are no Hammerhead's left in Boca Grande Pass he will find something else locally to exterminate. I'm not a Tree Hugger by any means, but this guy takes the cake for king a-hole in the pass. Lets try to respect the animals that have been there alot longer than we have and not kill them all. - talespin Wed, 06 May 2009 13:03:53 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-17 Do you realize that nothing lives forever? That includes sharks. Do you realize that the life expectancy of a Hammerhead is about 25 years and that this shark was not a baby? Do you realize that the previous world record was caught 24 years earlier? Do you really feel that the shark population will be damaged if one is killed every 24 years? - Capt-T Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:49:17 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-9 I read a comment on one site where the guy posting from australia was automatically pointing a finger at all Americans because of this one guys large error in judgement. As an American I can say anglers that would do such a thing are very rare, and the U.S. has some of the most strict conservation and protection laws of any country, yes Australia included. So lets put the blame where the blame lies, on a single guy not a nation. - fishbonz Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:17:11 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-7 I agree what is the sense in wasting a great fish like that just for the approval of your ego and the approval of man to have it said that I caught the biggest shark ever! >:( >:( >:( - Michael Thu, 31 Jul 2008 04:55:50 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-5 Absolutely agree - this type of thing is no longer necessary - I am an avid fisherman and will keep what is prudent. But this is too bad - sad day for the testimony of the fishing community by and large... - ReelDeal Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:51:46 +0100 http://www.reelschematic.com/content/view/305/1/#comment-4 Personally I would never condone the keeping of such a magnificent fish, just for the sake of having your name in a book. At times I feel the world record books do more hard for our environment than they do any good. Now I wouldn't consider myself an environmentalist by any means but to me it just seems wrong that in order to get your name in the record books the fish has to be killed in the process. We're not talking about the average fish you catch to take home to the dinner table, we're talking about the largest fish ever recorded by humans being caught. As an American and a sportsfisherman I am ashamed and disgusted with the load of bull for keeping her. What do you think? Give us your comments! - fishbonz Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:38:32 +0100
