That's a freaking huge dogfish.

Seriously, that may be the biggest one I've ever heard of - and unfortunately, I've caught hundreds of the miserable creatures.

Not sure you got a dog fish with out pic's ///
sounds a little 2 big !
Maybe a brown shark ? First off a brown shark is one of the best eating fish that you can catch from the beach. Right now alot of guys set up on east beaxh on the vineyard to catch them.
And they do grow very large and will hit anything from a eel to a metal lure.
I have ate them several times and to my surprise they are really a great tasting fish.

About all they harvest from dogfish are the fins(to japan for shark fin cartilage) and the belly flap(to the UK for F&C). The rest is fertilizer.

It was definately a dogfish...I was into em' for a couple of hours, tide changed...bass showed up for about 1/2 hour, then the dogs came right back around again....... I agree....this was by far the biggest one I've ever encountered...you guys actually got me thinkin'....

I did a little research...

Dogfish "is a type of small shark that lives in the ocean. There are about 70 species of dogfish. Most measure less than 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. However, the largest dogfish, the Greenland shark, can reach a length of over 20 feet (6 meters)".

I guess I just happened to get a bigg'en...


It was a bit of a scare though... ....standing waist-high in the surf in pea-soup fog...hearing the thrashing of the fish just ahead of me....thinking BASS!!....turning the head-lamp on to lip-em'.... .....then extending my rod and backing up real quick until I verified it was a dogfish and NOT some other toothy species of shark.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
