Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Let's talk for a minute about the record stuff.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

And I think a fun way of introducing how the records work and what the rules are, because you guys have rules that, how would you express the rule?

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

You have fishing rules that tournaments will abide by, right?

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

So the, the story that I've read about and written about and we've talked about is, is this, this guy, Frank Mundus.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Mundus, people will recognize they, listeners might not recognize Frank Mundus, but they'll recognize a character inspired by Frank Mundus, which is this, that Quint from Jaws is in some way.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

It was Benchley, right?

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Peter Benchley.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

In some way, he modeled his shark hunter off this dude who was named Frank Mundus.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

And Frank Mundus was a fisherman who fished out of Montauk, Long Island, so in New York State.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

And he was around in an era when you were starting to see declines in some of the traditional fish that people went after off Long Island.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

So we talked about bluefin declines.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Swordfish declines, other things were in decline and Mundus was kind of an opportunist and he built this business where he called himself monster man.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

He had necklaces full of shark teeth.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

He would drag home these giant sharks, big tigers, big Makos, whatever he'd get his hands on.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

He'd hang them up on the dock, you know, by a chain from a hoist.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Tourists would see these big fish and he would sell trips to go for sharks.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

And he built this whole persona around the big shark hunter.

The MeatEater Podcast
Ep. 889: The Boss of All Fishing Records

Right.
