“It’s pretty rare when it comes to greater hammers for our area,” Moran explained. “They are more common in south Florida.”
When it comes to this particular shark, however, “This one takes the cake so far.”
While the shark put up a fight, the anglers were able to bring it to the boat fairly quickly.
“We had her in and out under 15 minutes tops,” Moran said. “We kept her in the water the whole time to ensure a proper release.”
