Baitcast.....With great care.
Ken.....That is a beautiful shot of a hammerhead.
And, here is the baleful eye of a thresher that made its way to the dinner table:

Ken that picture was nearly 50 years old,times and attitudes have changed alot,but they still taste good
Rob
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

I completely understand Rob. While I don't like seeing any shark killed, I have no real gripe with hook and line fishermen. They do not make much of
an impact on the population. It's the finning operations and the longliners that are doing the damage.

That big eye reminded me of grunion runs in Calif.everyone would be running around chasing the grunion but I and my buds would have your rods at the
ready,always looking for other things that would be chasing the little fish as well such as halibut,yellowfin croakers and small T-Shark pups an a few
times I swear I saw those eyes with a flashlight as they came flying thru the little fish.

Ken,
Again, in keeping with my interests. Any idea why a head like that would evolve. What do your friends say. What possible advantage. Can you imagine a
progressive change from the basic form to that. I can't. Must be from an older origin.
I seem to remember aliens in star wars that used the hammerhead as a model.

Igor my shark friends say there are two evolutionary reasons for the shape of the hammerhead head, first an airfoil that creates additional lift. In
aviation terms it's called a "cunard" (sp??) Second, it improves vision by getting the eyes farther apart.

This shark video was just sent to me...and I would like to share it with all. Watch it all, the first part is like a screen-saver, but the second
half is quite remarkable.

I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Pompano, that video was very interesting.............
Maybe we're seeing the first step in the evolution of man shark relationships. 
Maybe in 400 years they won't kill us and we won't kill them!!
There were moments that appeared to be foreplay in my book.
Again, thanks for sharing.

I was a bit turned off by this interpretation of events: a toreador of sharks. With all the bravado and conquest implied.
I saw the original research on a television program and liked it more.
