Follow Up: Shark 22281


Back in August last year I was lucky enough to catch a tagged blacktip shark, details were recorded and sent off to The Cooperative Shark Tagging Program. It took a while but it has been added to their database, and the details sent back to me - which is pretty cool.


Blacktip number 22281.


54 inches to fork of tail.


64 inches in total. And a male (below).


The first time it had been reported since being released, so not masses of information but it had been tagged for 2.4 years. And they sent me a hat - I think my brother has got four of these but I don’t think many people in England are wearing them. Cheers Paulos!

    1. My summer carp fishing hat - I’m hoping it’ll appear on here a few times too!

    1. So that’s how sharks track humans, I thought that smelling blood from 100 miles away was a bit far fetched!
