Specifications: Hammerhead Shark / Weight 250 lb / Length 10'6" / Caught off Key West.

Description: "Hammerhead Shark are light gray with a greenish tint, with white bellies that allow them to sit on the ocean floor and blend in to entice prey in order to feed. The hammerhead actually has a small mouth even though it has such a wide head, and as such does plenty of bottom feeding, making its ability to blend into the ocean floor all the more valuable."
