Jeff Hynes Shark Pro Staff has declared: " I will not fish with round cannonballs." Same thing 40,000 other guys are saying. Jeff is leading the charge getting the message out to guides on the west coast. "Yeah I’m fish out of water right now, no shark cannonballs... no fishing.... I will not go out with round cannonballs! We fish on ledges all around here trying to find fish and right on bottom. Like fishing 200 feet deep in 210 feet of water.... bottom bouncing pretty much. Ledges drop or rise 20-40 feet difference, hence why I’m snagging up... I fishing 90 percent by my self so as soon as I walk away from the wheel... boat goes one way and then I’m bottom bouncing with cannonballs!!"

With all the excitement of the 2017 Bornholm Trolling Masters on the horizon, and our products surging in Scandinavia, many of our new Viking friends were curious about Suzanne's Danish connection. Her late father Frode was a Viking warrior. This is his story, it was documented and published by a newspaper in San Diego California. "Fred" would have been very proud to see his grandchildren's product competing in the Trolling Masters; Frode loved fishing. The last time we were together was downriggin on Lake Ontario with Captain Dave McConnell. http://www.thecommunitypaper.com/archive/2009/12_17/index.php

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. They won first place out of 40 teams and somehow my official Sharkman hat. I was pleased to hand it over when I found out they used Sharks to win.  They also informed me they want to go to Bornholm Denmark next spring to compete against 400 pro Viking Teams, the ultimate challenge. I have been trying to make this happen for many years, this could be it. I advised them Shark would be happy to contribute to the effort to make this happen. 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.
