Who would have thought that Corpus Christi would be a haven for hammerhead sharks?
It’s no rare feat for fishing guide Tristan Bardin, also known as Sharka Brah, who recently helped clients reel in a nearly 11-foot hammerhead near Bob Hall Pier.
Bardin told MySA.com that the 10-foot-80-inch hammerhead was the third-largest hammerhead shark his business has caught this year.
It took about an hour for the group to reel in the shark.
"There are sharks out here all year, really, but the big ones kind of come and go at certain times of the year," he said. "I was not expecting to catch a 10-foot hammer yesterday. We were looking more for a tiger shark, but you really never know what you're gonna catch."
