what kind of man would it take?

I was looking through some old record fish and saw this one. It's the world record, IGFA all-tackle Tiger shark. It weighed over 1780 lb's. The unique part of this record you ask? It wasn't caught from a boat, it was caught a Peir. He battled that shark for hours, by himself, with the wench he called a reel. Do you think you could have done it? I don't think I could have. Makes you wonder what kind of equipment he was using. Look at the size of that reel. It's like a 16/0. This fish was landed June 14th, 1964 by Walter Maxwell. And it was caught in none other than Cherrygrove, South Carolina.
