Bonnethead sharks are the smallest members of the hammerhead clan. The world record, caught in Daytona Beach in 2012, is only 28 pounds. Compare that to the world record great hammerhead at 1,280 pounds — more than 45 times larger.
But despite their smaller size, they are packed full of hammerhead attitude. Watch one swimming on the flats, boldly displaying its dorsal fin above the water and cruising right past your boat like it owns the place. They’re like chihuahuas: They don’t know they’re little.
