#1 - Lube if you had a chance at eating some black tip shark, grilled with just a little italian dressing poured on while grilling you'd change your mind about eating shark

#2 - I am a dog owner and shark fisherman - usually in the summer months I catch a eating sized shark every couple of weeks.

#3 - I belive the story - isolated dumba$$ fisherman that hopefully gets skewered buy a blue marlin one day.

#4 - I don't believe the picture. To catch a big shark you need a big round hook to get past the rows of teeth. a long shank hook, even with twin hooks if it's not wide enough will not be effective

#5 Sure sharks are trash eaters and opportunists - but to catch the big ones - you need to mirror the bait supply that's on hand. So, if you are in the ocean - than a big snapper/grouper/amberjack = a dog - or cat or whatever would be pretty ineffective.
