Great hammerheads, with their odd-looking heads, are among the largest of the species, growing to 20 feet long and weighing up to 1,000 pounds. Their average life span is 20 to 30 years, but scientists have found some to live beyond age 50.

One question I have for the Lord is “why did You make sharks and grizzly bears?”

One question I have for the Lord is why did You make sharks and grizzly bears? To cull the herd of stupid people.
My question would be, "How come you didn't make more of those sort of beasts?", or perhaps, "Why is the avocado seed so large compared to the fruit?

Three idiots, including myself as chief idiot, gaffed a nine foot hammerhead off Cape San Blas, FL. We were doing the old "one, two, three, GAFF!"
The other two idiots missed, but I connected with the shark, and not far from the tail (the "action end"). That shark danced me up and down the deck and I did my best to keep from going overboard and joining him. It could have made a really funny video from that point on until we got some more gaff hooks in him.
They are good to eat but they start deteriorating within minutes of being caught, kinda' like blue crabs, so they have to be cleaned and iced immediately. Shark steaks grill very nicely and they give us humans a chance to get revenge for "Jaws".

Because there is always the chance that one day Cindy Sheehan might go hunting in the woods, or sport fishing in the Gulf? LMAO

"One question I have for the Lord is why did You make sharks and grizzly bears?LOL! You reminded me of something Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote in Breakfast Of Champions. He mentioned a rattlesnake, and then wrote;
"A rattlesnake is a creature into whose mouth the Creator of The Universe put hypodermic needles with which it injected deadly poison into it's victims (sometimes I wonder about the Creator of The Universe)."

“Shark steaks grill very nicely and they give us humans a chance to get revenge for “Jaws”.”
Being at the top of the food chain, aren’t they rather high in organic mercury? I don’t recommend a regular diet of shark. I’m not an environmental wacko by the way.

I’ve caught a number of hammerheads off of Galveston...they were small. But fun to catch.

Organic mercury? Mercury mined and refined without the use of pesticides or illegal-alien labor? I’m probably just displaying my own vast ignorance here, but “organic mercury” sounds like an oxymoron, to me.
