Suzanne and I are very proud of our kids and the success of their manufacturing company Shark Trolling Products. We attended the King of Kings pro salmon fishing tournament at Bluffer's Park this past weekend. It's the biggest pro tournament in Canada.  We went there to meet with our Shark Pro Staff Teams from Canada and the USA, and to officially launch a new product.  It was a huge success, we met old friends, made many new ones. Shark products have dominated tournaments around the world for the last 15 years, but this new product has gone viral on social media, and is skyrocketing in popularity on the water with consumers.  With over 40 of the top pro teams competing, most of them were equipped with Shark products.  It has been a tough road over the past 15 years, plenty of blood, sweat, and tears, I'm sure there will be plenty more ahead.  We would like to thank all our friends from around the world who have supported us along the way, we could not have do...

Diabolical Indeed: Congratulations to Captain Mark McClutchey and the crew of Team Diabolical Sportfishing, winner of the Big Fish Award on prefish Friday.  The lads made the long trip up from Michigan to compete in Canada's biggest pro tournament, King of Kings at Bluffer's Park in Toronto.

As it turned out, we were already friends on facebook, but now we are friends for real, a great bunch of guys.  Sadly the main event was cancelled due to wind.  At least everybody had a great time fishing on the pre fish day. Suzanne and I had a w...

15 years ago Shark showed up at the Oswego Pro Am, Coldsteel won the day and the $1000 special Shark prize. Best G note we ever spent, the rest was history. Hundreds of wins over the years, Shark Cannonballs and A-TOM-MIK Flies ruled the waves; we still do. Fast forward 2016, Tom Allen puts some local color on the new Shark Tournament Flashers and calls it "The Money Shot"; it went viral. Thanks Tom, we are going to give it our best shot at the biggest tourney on the lake. See you there.

Tony Bolger ‎ to Shark Cannonballs 1 hr   ·  Thank you for a great product! I have been using shark cannonballs for years with great success.
