[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4302477, member: 5412"] This is true. Sport fishermen are having massive issues with sharks taking their catch while retrieving them. In the early 2000's finning and overharvesting of sharks was an issue as they are part of the ecosystem. Restrictions to harvest remain in place to this day because of that overfishing issue that started with the Jaws movie some say. Charter fishing captain Jamie Glasner said NOAA restrictions on fishing for the sharks instituted in 2008 have resulted in a huge population boom for the sharks. He regularly takes groups with[URL='https://www.instagram.com/finandflycharters/?hl=en'] Fin and Fly Charters[/URL] miles and miles offshore to catch and release the large animals, which are protected under federal law. Restrictions on fishing for the sharks have been in place since 2008. "NOAA fisheries probably needs to do another assessment and look at the shark population," Glasner added. Most of these recent attacks in Florida are in knee deep water by sharks that are 3-5' long. Even that short they can remove the calf of one's leg that will require removal of the entire leg above the wound but are protected in Alabama anyway when we were there at Gulf Shores until they reach about 5+ feet. I don't have the exact number at hand. [/QUOTE]
