Shark Tournament Weigh In 2017 – Edisto Watersports and Tackle
That is very sad, very pathetic and not at all sport. A sport should be 50/50 for both in the game. So next time how about getting in the sea with the Tiger/lemon sharks and see who becomes the winner? So shocking the USA still see’s this as acceptable. A beautiful creature just killed for fun, what is wrong with you people.
