Bring back the annual Cape Cod Shark Tournament

Tom can tell you that it was actually organized by The Boston Big Game Fishing Club and held annually out of Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. I still have a T shirt from around 10 years ago before it got cancelled.

You got that right.

It was run by Steve James who drowned in a duck hunting accident.

I was in just about every shark tournament on MV.

Steve was a friend, and the head of another boating club I belonged too. AT the July 2003 Oak Bluffs Shark Tournament, Steve presented me with a plaque honoring me as a founding member of the "Boston Big Game Fishing Club". It is still hanging on the wall as a reminder of the "Good Old Days".

IN my lifetime (86 years)I have only encountered 3 people who were fully alive every day of their lives.
Steve James was one of them. -Tom

I have a shark tournament T shirt from 82 when it took place at the Lewis Bay Marina Dock Side Inn in Hyannis. :)
