A shark angler in Texas recently experienced the “catch of a lifetime” after reeling in a 11-foot tiger shark off the coast of Padre Island National Shore. Bacilio Hernandez of Corpus Christi caught, tagged and released the 11-foot tiger shark last week. Once the shark was situated more inland, the angler was able to unhook the shark, tag it and take pictures with the sea creature. When it came time to release the shark, Hernandez had to “swing it back and forth by its tail” so it could gain momentum to swim into deeper water, he said. While Hernandez said catching the tiger shark was the “best experience” he’s had in his three years of shark fishing, his next goal is to catch a hammerhead shark.
