Last Thursday... flat seas.... fishing at the PA South Jetty..... the head boat "S**t Cat" was anchored about 40 yards from me... nothing was biting and they began to pull in their anchor.... the deck hand that was watching the cable roll in suddenly began to holler for them to stop pulling the anchor.... he ran to the back of the boat and came back with a rod with a bait on it and began casting it out in front of the boat,,,, the rod would have been about right to fish for kingfish or big redfish.
Another deckhand came forward and was up on the second deck.. about 20' above the water... I asked him what they saw... he said a 13 foot Hammerhead shark...... I saw a fin sticking out of the water... maybe 6 inches and then it went down....
I did not think they had seen a 13' Hammerhead.
Then online Friday... a guy caught a 14 foot Hammerhead a few miles South of the PA Jetty.... said it weighed near 1000 lbs.
