Yesterday I posted photos of two fairly common sights one might see at the Texas City Dike. Today's photos, from the same trip to the Dike this past weekend, are of a less common site. This guy is a 676 pound Tiger Shark! Although this is the by far the biggest fish I have ever seen I understand that it is no where near the Texas record which is over 1,000 pounds. The shark was caught during a week long fishing tournament based at the Texas City Dike. I asked the guy updating the tournament's leader board where it was caught and he said "in the water!". I might as well have asked the shark!
Photos taken with a Canon 40D, 100-400mm zoom lens. HDR conversion was made using the most excellent Photomatix!
