A South Carolina angler caught a huge, 1,000 pound hammerhead shark and released it back into the water.

Chip Michalove, who owns fishing charter company Outcast Sport Fishing, had been out with angler Pete Quartuccio and a friend on July 13 off Hilton Head Island when they reeled in the ginormous shark.

The shark, had it been brought back to shore, may have smashed the state record for the heaviest hammerhead caught.

That'll probably be the same shark that ends up killing some swimmer because the knucklehead released it.

I saw on of those ugly monsters laid out on a table being gutted in Cape Hatteras many years ago.

Awful creatures.
