Hunters will kill the female shark and cut the pups out and sell them over seas at 200-300 a pop. It mad me mad to know this. But this guy now has a better life, he found a shark pond.
I caught one of those in the San Francisco bay... He yanked my pole in to the water and my cousin went after it lol I caught him and then let him go... the one I caught was kinda big. I have never caught a fish in the bay just a shark and rays lol
