.. fisherman (or villain) single handedly kills almost 60 Hammerhead Sharks in two trips..

You call yourself a fisherman?

Here’s a brief summary of the article (in my own, very biased words): Fisherman goes out to sea. Fisherman catches a beautiful predator. Fisherman kills beautiful predator. Fisherman gets another notch in his belt  via world record submission/death of an innocent predator. Fisherman FAILS in everyone’s but his own eyes.

Now let’s be realistic, my desire to vent is over and I’m prepared to be fair. Are Hammerhead Sharks aggressive? Yes they are.

That’s all I have for now. I’m having writer’s block and will add more as soon as it goes away. There’s so much to say about this atrocious act and I can’t seem to put it into words.
