Hi guys, This is the first Ragged Tooth Shark that I have ever caught and although at 190lb not the biggest of sharks, I was overjoyed. The fight lasted 25 minutes and it was released within 5 minutes after it was landed. In October I am going to try and better my PB for the species.

Nice job tokkie! I like the way that rod is built too. Not a lot of guys use that style over here in the states. In the states we call those Sand Tiger sharks too. One of my favorite species. I'm jealous! Great catch!

NIce where did you catch it? I live in South Africa and I caught it off the beach at a coastal town called Struisbaai in the Southern Cape Province. These sharks are reasonably abundant in that area.

I'm jealous! Great catch! Thank you HuntinForTail! I love these sharks too and they are quite docile over here. They swim with the divers on the reefs and not a single case of a shark attack could be attributed to this species over here. Unfortunately, careless anglers have been bitten due to incorrect handling of the fish after capture but none were serious.
