There are over 350 species of sharks swimming our oceans. They range in size from 17 centimetres (7in) to 12 metres (39ft). Sharks can have as many as 3000 teeth at one time but each shark has a very specialized set of teeth that can make them easy to identify.
Lets see how much you know about sharks, can you name that shark based only on its teeth?
UPDATE: The answer is cookie cutter shark!
We’ve seen some pretty unique kayaks in the past, but the Wavewalk kayak looks ideal for fishermen. The shape allows for stability that is simply unattainable in a standard kayak. You can sit, kneel and stand upright, even in waves!
Check this one out, its all rigged up for fishing!
The price? From $850 to $1250 depening on the size.

I’ve been fishing for muskie since I was about 13 years old. I’ve caught my fair share, but lost several big fish in the process. Muskies, more then any fish I have ever caught, really play hard to get. Just ask Bob Mehsikomer and these 50+ inchers that keep breaking his heart…
Be sure to check out some of Bob’s other clips from the Simply Fishing Show.
A father and son team have teamed up for a 50 day fishing trip that spans all 50 states. Sounds like a great way to spend a summer bonding with dad! They are nearing the end of their trip and are going to be visiting Hawaii and Alaska next.
Why are they doing it? They are doing it for the adventure of course! I’d love to do the same thing on a much larger scale, maybe 50 countries!
The latest entry on their site has the following stats:
Dad (421 fish); Taylor (412 fish) with a Grand Total of 832 fish to date. Note that Taylor is now trailing me by single digits – only 9 fish down with 2 States to go.
Where would you fish if you were on a 50 day fishing trip?

The mako shark is one of my all time favorite sharks. It looks mean, its super fast, and it has been known to jump 20 feet into the air when hooked. They aren’t the biggest shark, but they sure act like there are. Many people call them the bully of the ocean!
The current IGFA world record mako is 1221 pounds, but a 1324 pound and 1530 pound mako have also been caught that do not qualify as world records according the the IGFA rules.
Caught off Chatham Massachusetts, USA on July 21, 2001 by Luke Sweeney.
