Surf fishing on canaveral national seashore we often hook into *large* sharks. I've gone a few times with the equipment needed to actually land them and hauled in a few big guys. One hammerhead a little over 7feet (I don't know weight, I would estimate 250-300lbs). Most of what we caught was 4-5 feet and around 100 lbs, but it's actually pretty funny to see the way people react when you pull an enormous predator onto the beach. Since it's a national seashore there normally aren't that many people around, but nudity is allowed so during the fight a crowd of people, many naked, stand and watch you. It might be the definition of surreal.
