 UPDATED POST: Controversial Shark Photo!

Censorship Sucks!  But I understand that this photo IS graphic and clearly offends many so it has been removed, but the link remains (for now) and the original post remains below the jump, so all the harassment and accusations and threats and misrepresentations should, maybe, hopefully cease.

Once again, I didn't catch this shark or post the original photo on FB, but my re-post has clearly stirred things up.  Discussion is good.  Varying points of opinion are welcome.  Let's keep it civil.  Not everybody who was stirred to action by the planned development of Honeymoon Island has a singular point of view.
In addition to these adjustments, I am posting links to the Fishing Rights Alliance and the Shark Foundation
WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTO!
__________________________________________________________________________________

The captions and original commments describe it as an almost 500lb Bull Shark.  The now famous or infamous 'Rocky' caught it on a recent Friday night at the Redington Beach pier.

"Friday night..2 times Jaws dropped the bait and the 3rd time he got it..hours of fighting it.Rocky rubbed the skin off the inside of his arms..he was leaning so far back and his shark rod was bent in half..he is one sore boy..Rocky just moved his leg in time..he had to go down the ladder to gaff it..Jaws wanted Rocky.."

What do you think?

  4. Why did you erase the original thread?

    Something to hide?

  5. Yes, why did it become erased indeed. I doubt that the negative reaction will have any positive effect on the people who found this killing "awesome"

  6. There is nothing "awesome" about what this guy is doing or about this picture.

  7. I didn't erase anything. Maybe the person who originally posted the pic deleted it because of the all of the violent rhetoric and threats that were directed their way by the less stable among us.....

    It wasn't my catch, pic or post.... I just posted a link on my wall

  8. 409+ million years of perfection and this guy feels like a big man for having destroyed this magnificent creature...anyone who thinks this is awesome is equally unevolved and cruel.
    ..They might think differently being on the other end of that hook.
