Big Hammerhead Shark Eats a Tarpon [video]

I ran across this video on YouTube...  This is not from the SF Bay :), but it is a very cool fishing video.  A large hammerhead shark is eating a trapon. I grew up attempting to catch tarpon... They are incredibly hard to catch because of their acrobatics and mouths that are nothing but bone. VERY sharp hooks help, but I personally found most the hooks would simple fall out once the pressure on the line was removed. Hopefully they were in the net by then.

Enjoy.
