As a diver and fisherman, I figure I should throw my two cents in. I don't believe shark fishing should be shut down. There should be slot and catch limits. There are many six gills out there. We just don't know a thing about them. I have seen some landed near Tacoma that were huge. I may have even hook one once near Dash Point. Never did see that sucker! Most of the piers around the state are set up for both fishing and diving. I don't think I would keep a six gill I land, but who knows? But I think that anyone one who wants to keep a shark should spear it while diving. The thrill of the catch will be not being eaten. As anyone who dives and spears know, we got shafted on lings this year. So maybe it was the state's turn to pick on sport fishers? Figures, I get it at both ends.

Just because I look big, dumb, and ugly, doesn't mean I am. It means I can stomp you for calling me it!
