if you Google "bowhunting sharks" you will find a ton of stuff. Apparently it is done all over the world.

I am not casting judgement one way or the other. To each his own.

Ask around in Hawaii, I Remember seeing some snorkel swimmers that went after Marlin or swordfish and tuna with a spear gun

recreational fishing for shark = rod and reel,handline only

... it's about finding something that has never been done and making it happen. "

Will the dead fish wind up in a dumpster after being photographed, or do you plan to eat it?

I dont hunt things I dont eat. 33 deer, 10 turkeys, 4 hogs, and 3 tuna have fed my friends and I well. I hunted 86 days last year. I dont buy meat. Most of my veggies are from our garden as well. I keep at most one bass a year to eat as sushi. It was just an Idea....The more things we can run sharp sticks through the better. Its fun. Hell I even have venison hot dogs in my fridge and salami and summer sausage and steak and......

You know, I think I need a vacation from the board or need to get out fishing or something. I cannot believe this poor bastard puts up a post and gets his balls busted because he wants to do something the rest of us have not done.

Lighten the F%$#$@ up will ya!! the guy just asked a question. No need to to drag him through the mud with "dumpster fish talk" etc.

He was simply looking for information and whether you all think it ethical is academic.

The honest truth is I asked here because I have been reading and posting on this board for as long as I can remember. (I had an old screen name back in the day I dont even remember it anymore). I fish everything from Thames winter bass to every inch of the back beaches I even tried for stripers through the ice on the cape in a spot I catch them right after ice out (MONSTER HOLDOVERS) some in the 20lb range. I have been lucky enough to win the MV rod and gun striped bass fly fishing derby a few years back as well. I love the outdoors and respect it. I was simply looking into another adventure to add. My question was placed here because I have faith in the collective knowledge this site holds. I'm pretty thick skined anyhow I completely understand that some people are not into hunting and respect the views they have as well.

Good luck and make sure to let us know if you follow through with it.

Gotta be thick-skinned in here. The hormones are high with signs of spring in the air and mating season about to begin.

Let me know when those hormone levels subside and that mating urge is OVER! That is when I'll put out an invite for a boat trip.
