12 year old boy snags a shark

Whoa!

A 12 year old Connecticut boy reels in a shark using his previous catch of the day. Not just any shark either. A 551 lb. shark!

Boat Captain Tony Rizzo says the Bull Shark weighed in at 551 pounds, and appears to have set a record. “I got home and one of the fellows called me from the taxidermy and said this is the biggest shark, bull shark they have ever seen.”

Aidan’s mother says her son got all of [sic] attention after making the big catch. “There were probably 50 to 75 people watching this and there were all sorts of teenage girls asking questions about it, so he was really happy about that.”

    To kill a magnificent animal of the sea simply for the reason to kill it disturbs me very much. Why was such a thing taught to a young boy. Its like the great white hunters of past years who killed every fine tiger, elephant, or whatever to show they were somehow superior ?

    I agree with this observation but I blame the fishing boat captain more than the child.
