Big Shark On Fly

[SWF]

It's on the internet so it must be true, right?

MIAMI - A doctor with a slew of world fishing records added another one to his collection when he caught a 385-pound lemon shark on fly tackle, the International Game Fish Association said Tuesday.

Seems like a dangerous way to handle a shark!

A couple of years ago a guy caught a Great White with Fly tackle

And Gary Merriman's Marlin was considerably larger than 385 lbs. by about another 1000 lbs., or so! Gary had a problem with certification because of an improper knot, leader length or some such issue. I'm not sure what they mean by the heaviest fish caught on fly tackle. Certainly that can't be right.
