A 29-year-old surfer was nipped on the foot on Thursday off the New Smyrna Beach Jetty. It is unlikely he will require stitches--lame. While we are excited that New Smyrna has already reached a dozen bites for the year, we would much rather post photos from last weekend's Mako Mania Shark killing tournament in New Jersey.

Notice anything fishy about this photo?

Oh yeah, this isn't a Mako Shark. Why does this matter? Well, according to the Mako Mania website:

Rule # 9. This is a MAKO ONLY tournament: 66" minimum fork length. For conservation purposes, it is requested that all other sharks be tagged and released.

Nice one. It is good when fishermen respect the rules of the tournaments they "compete" in. So this begs the question: if fishermen aren't going to respect the rules of their fishing tournament, are they going to respect the fish?

Guess not.

But then again, how can we expect a fisherman to respect a fish when he clearly has no respect for himself?

Why are all these jerkoffs so fat?

Why?
