The sport began to take off in the early 1900s. Avid
sport fishermen soon discovered that the surf zone was full of sharks, and that these sharks were challenging, and even dangerous asgame fish . Initially, sharks were fished from big game boats, and the sport was expensive. Over time, land-based shark fishing developed as an alternative, and has become a popular sport in its own right. It is now run by theInternational Land-Based Shark Fishing Association .ee also
