Dann,

The f bombs are not necessary. I understand your position. People have very strong feelings on the subject. However, you are incorrect in suggesting that the fish was a Longfin. It is most definitely a shortfin as was confirmed by the fish & game authorities. Thank you.

If you are asking whether they used a gun to subdue the fish the answer is no. They boated it using a flying gaff and a lot of manpower.

Sharks of nearly every species are regularly taken for thier fins alone. If we mange to kill off the sharks; and we are eighty percent of the way there. The oceans are going to experience species crashes like you can't imagine. like mountain lions move hurds of mule deer across the landscape preventing over browsing and starvation as well as thinning the weak and sick.Sharks have been shown to fill a similar niche. Sea lions, seals,otters, and others are naturally balanced by sharks.

@geezerdombroadcast mako sharks are the only edible sharks

[Dann2013]

thats a longfin mako you fucking morons

[geezerdombroadcast]

It's far more manly to speak the truth and more dangerous and adventurous to swim with sharks instead of killing them in ignorance. That's not an insult I'm just telling you it's long past time to change your view and knowlege of the oceans. We could save them but the ignorance and false ideas about sharks and every thing else is kiling us. Let's get smart grow up and make your heroes the oceanographers instead of the pillagers of wild stocks that are disa pearing fast.
