So I started off using macs like everyone else and that worked for a lot of bats and some sharks.
Then I started keeping the occasional bat to use as bait and that worked better for sevengills.
Now I see this. Looks like a pretty large bit out of it, so I'm thinking do I keep one of these as bait for the bigger ones??? ;D

Just kidding by the way! ;)
Not a bad idea really. Bet you don't lose a bait once you pin it on.
Looking at the pic again, It looks like this sevengill spit out it's guts like they sometimes do.
I know there was one caught in this area recently, so maybe it just didn't get revived properly?
Cool pic! Any idea on length?
Whoa! I can't really tell what happened to that thing. It looks like a bite, but could be an improper release. In any case, weird seeing that washed up and cool pic Chad!
Just saw this Chad, hard to say what happened. Weird
I'd assume a shark that size died and then had a chunk bitten out by it's kin. Despite our best efforts it'd be naive of us to think there isn't some attrition. I know I've had a few I thought swam off strong only to see them beach again and do the release process all over. I bet any beach goers were very surprised to see this :D!
