Monster Shark Tournament

New England's largest deep sea fishing tournament takes place each year in Oak Bluffs. Hundreds of crews participate and this afternoon as the sharks were caught they would come in to show and weigh them. We were able to watch several of them; the largest shark we saw was over 300 pounds. The record for this tournament is 1200 pounds. It'll be interesting to find out the weight of this year's winner.

That's the tail you can see going across the top of the photo.

Over 300 pounds-glad we didn't meet him earlier in the day!

Apparently a long bike ride, several hours at the beach, and a shark tournament were more than our little pea could handle. Not sure this is the most comfortable way to snooze though....
