Who is hardcore enough to ice fish sharks in Greenland?

[dogfish]

Saw a small artical in a sporting mag (outdoor life, sports afield?) a while back on this and just fpund there web page.  It cost like 4 or 5000 grand to go do this.  There is the possibility of putting a 2,000lb greenland shark on the ice, by hand line tho.  I mean how cool would that be?
The magazine said that they were not good eating due to the high concentrations of uric acid in there system (makes them taste like pee).  But it was like you jig a dead seal on a big hook in 600 ft of water.  I just got to do this.

Wonder who the first guy was that found this out!?!

Sounds like fun, but to much $$$.

They also catch sharks while ice fishing on the saguenay river in Quebec. They don't catch many most by accident while fishing for other seawater species.

Amen to that bro 8)
I think that Iceshanty should sponser an entry in the contest .  With only 20 entrys allowed the chance of bringing home the gold are good.
What do you say Scott???
Ice shanty on the pack ice of greenland, flying a iceshanty flag fishing for thousand pound sharks?  In a globle contest with only 20 entrys.

I'm hardcore enough to do it but that seems quite pricey. I think I will stick to "accidentally" catching a sturgeon in one of the big lakes I fish in. They tagged one in 3 months ago that was a 1/4 inch under 10ft. Best of all, its free. Thats if you consider I'm out there anyways catching big burbot and lakers for the upcoming Iceshanty Tourney.

And if you soak a walleye fillet in pee it tastes like shark .

[whitts-end]

i'll make a deal with you.. i'll send you a urine sample and a picture of a shark, and you send me $2,000.  Just think, you are saving money already!

[hali-man]

How do you guys know what "pee" tastes like, anyway?
