efore 1:30 p.m. today, the crowds at the Outcast Mega Shark Tournament at downtown’s Palafox Pier and Yacht Harbor had been treated to more than 2,000 titilating pounds of tiger shark.
Fifteen-year-old Chase Jackson and the crew aboard Reel Chase set a tournament record with an 874.4-pound tiger shark.
Less than an hour later, Jacob Matlock’s 787.6-pound tiger was hoisted to the scales.
Both sharks broke the tournament’s record of 576.6 pounds set in 2007.
The boat My Amy was the first to the scales with a 304.6-pound tiger. They were followed by Justin Scher’s 224.8-pound hammerhead caught on the boat Bull Market. Team Flatline brought in a 235-pound tiger just before the monstrous 874.4 shark was weighed.
