March 30, 1981... 40 years ago today I caught my famous (only in my own mind) hammerhead shark. I was 14 years old on a spring break trip to Pompano Beach, Florida with my family. My dad chartered a fishing boat for us and I caught a 7'9" hammerhead shark weighing in at 138 pounds. It was a real thrill! Why do I remember the date so easily? It's because this all happened on the same day President Ronald Reagan was shot. I can't believe this was 40 years ago.
