Fishing for sharks with a flyrod sounds like a blast.

Do they play "rock, paper, scissors" to see who gets to remove the fly?

I read an article recently about fishing for makos off San Diego--sounded awesome. Having a fish make runs at up to 50mph and launch 7-8 feet out of the water wouldn't suck.

Always thought there was a fine line between surfing on the Oregon coast and "dry fly" fishing for great whites.
