It was an amazing three days! A record breaking hammerhead shark was caught by Peter Buban, nearly 14ft. The first European teams to participate in the tournament came from Germany and Switzerland. Teams were composed of anglers from all over the United States, including: Florida, Georgia, Texas, Maryland, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, California, New Jersey and Minnesota. More than 60 sharks were caught in 72 hours, including eight different species. For the first time in Blacktip Challenge history, a dusky shark was caught and released. This remarkable catch was accomplished by junior angler Cameron McCllelan. Researchers from Nova Southeastern University and St. Mary’s Medical Center took oral swabs from sharks caught in the tournament to collect bacteria samples. Their objective is to improve the antibiotic treatment of shark attack victims. Researchers from Florida International University took blood samples from sharks caught in the tournament to study the stress involved with catch and release fishing.
