Shark hauled in

IT’S A SIGHT many Barbadians are not accustomed to seeing.
    But yes, it’s a shark and yes, it was caught in Barbadian waters – just off the Animal Flower Cave.
    Otis, the man with the marine trophy, was not the fisherman who hauled it from the deep.
That accolade is for fisherman extraordinaire Don Archer, who said the shark, by his standard, was small. It was only six feet long and weighed 110 pounds.
