Abstract:

At Shallotte Point, North Carolina, the Annual Poor Boy Shark Tournament is held for three days each year. It is the only shark fishing tournament held in North Carolina. In its fifth year, the tournament hosted 35 boats, and 118 fishermen who caught 87 sharks. Participants are warned of the dangerous that come with hunting shark, but they love the competition and of course, the food.
