Specialty Surf Shark List (Updated 11/16/24)

[Latimeria]

I went through all of the specialty sharks the member's have caught since I first created the website back in April 2014.  I am not counting Bat Rays or Leopard Sharks, but the cooler, bigger and more obscure sharks from our surf.  This is just to track the sharks we have caught as well as some data to help us clue in on these Big Game surf critters.

I'll update the list as catches continue.  I'll also anchor this post for easy viewing. All sharks listed are sharks posted to the P-Soul website.

All sharks are C.P.R'd (Catch, Photographed and Released unharmed)

Only sharks posted onto this community (forum) will be added to the list.

I'm definitely all for this list! Really good idea man....I gotta start putting in work and getting my name on there more lol

Very nice Tom! But Ray's 94"er was a brute of a male, but the size guesstimates on mine look correct lol. Good idea on this list!

There seems t be a trend on the bait.

I don't notice location listed.

Very nice compilation of information.

I'll go back and change that.  I was trying to use any information provided in the posts and seeing if I saw claspers or not.  I didn't see them in Ray's Pic, but I'm glad you let me know so I could correct that.  I also pulled old tide charts and moon phase charts to get the correct info for those days that a shark was caught.

It took me some time to get it all together, but should be easier from here on out.

Squatch, I added baits since inevitably Donfish will get one using squid or sardine... or something.  LOL  Actually a few of those you caught were on bonito, so I need to change that also.

Macks are the hot ticket, cool thread Tom

[raychavez91]

Oh that's right, the 1 got was a male, me and Adam had a conversation that night about the female 7gill he had just caught that had bite marks by its gills, like maybe the 1 I had caught and his were "partner's"

I'm pretty sure the two he got last year were on squid.

Hoping to add my name to this list ... eventually.

[Chris]

if you'd like to add. its from a long time ago lol

North SD county, July 21st 2012, 10:41pm right before peak high tide. Fresh perch. 69" . large 4ft+ surf when caught.



North SD, Sep. 14th 2012, incoming tide just after dark. caught on Baraccuda chunks. Est. 5ft. flat surf with occasional 1-2ft rollers.

[Latimeria]

I remember those well Chris.  I was just putting up the shark list since Prehistoric Soul's inception, so I left a bunch of sharks out.  When I have time (like after my back surgery) I might include all of the sharks that we caught, but it is going to be quite the task.  It was just easier to start the list when I started the website.   

Cool, keep that up here as I think a more robust list would serve everyone better with the data.

Hoping to add my name to this list and soon!
