Texan Breaks State Record By Reeling In 1,033-Pound Hammerhead Shark

So the saying is true “Everything is bigger in Texas!"

Just last week we highlighted a gentleman named Sergio Roque who pulled in a 964-pound Tiger Shark at the Texas City/ La Marque Jaycees’ Tackle Fishing Tournament in Texas City.  The catch was the only shark caught in the tournament and one of the heaviest catches in recent years.  That was until another Texan reeled in another mammoth of a catch to conclude the tournament.

From the website Click 2 Houston Tim McClemmem was the big winner in the Texas City / La Marques Jaycees’ Tackle Fishing Tournament in Texas City by reeling in a 1,033-pound Hammer Head Shark.

When you put your line in you never know what’s gonna bite…

Tim had no idea what to expect when he cast out his line at night - that’s when he and the Hammer Head Shark went to battle leading to his record-breaking catch that stood forthirty years.
