MORE ON SHARK FISHING

While we think it cool to be able to jump on "Monster Fishing" and go out into the ocean and catch a shark, we are now reading the story of Kon-Tiki and find it a bit more fascinating. 1947. A sailing raft made of balsa logs with a bamboo hut atop. Six guys. 4500 miles from Peru to Polynesia. A day's catch included 9 sharks. The best part ... the sharks were caught by hand!
