Tiger Sharks are very popular among sport fishermen (and sport fisher-women, too). They’re easily distinguished by the series of vertical “tiger-like” stripes along their bodies. Tiger Sharks have been recorded at lengths in excess of 14 feet and weighing over 1,000 pounds! Only the Great White Shark has accounted for more human attacks than Tiger Sharks. Tiger sharks have limited tasting ability. (That’s actually really scary. Great Whites may attack humans, but Great Whites don’t like the taste of human flesh. Tiger Sharks, due to their poor tasting abilites, often finish the meal.) To make a long story short, many Tiger Shark attacks are fatal. Tiger sharks’ jaws are powerful enough to break a sea turtles shell.
Tiger Sharks love the wandering sandy shoals of NC’s Outer Banks because their is so much food and prey available. When hooked, Tiger Sharks make drag-screaming runs that will wear out even the most veteran angler. If you’re looking to match wits with a Tiger Shark, you’re in the right place.
