[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 3090963, member: 20769"] I would be game for a T rex, raptor and saber tooth, but being I am more into fishing now, the "reel" challenge for me would be hooking and landing a Megalodon shark... Maybe from the beach as I don't want to be floating on the water with a ticked off 60 foot, 75 ton shark under the water. I landed and released a 17' 3" (as best we could measure as he was still very green) long Tiger shark off NC coast 12 years ago and that battle was over 4 hours. For the first h our, I don't think the shark even knew he was hooked. When he finally surfaced about 2 hours into the fight, he swam through a 5' wave while we were in the trough of the waves and he was a eye level. My buddy lost it. "Cut the line, cut the line, that B$$tard will eat the boat". When I finally got him boat side we attempted to measure him with the anchor rode but neither of us wanted to get too close to his head, so we held on the side of the boat and guessed at being over the tip. His head looked like the hood of a VW beetle. He was massive. Can only imagine what a Megalodon would look like beside the boat. OK Weapon: For the dinos/mammals would be my 416 Rigby I use in Africa. For the Megalodon, 44 mag bang stick, I want him up close and personal. [/QUOTE]
