I’ve seen some big hammerheads, but I haven’t seen one this close to the beach before (and kind of glad about that).

It looked like it was up in less than 2 feet of water at one point when it went up towards the beach.

According to angler Fed Moore, this is an estimated 10ft Hammerhead Shark that was cruising along the Pensacola Pass near Fort Pickens.

Ironically, I was swimming with my kids at Pensacola beach not very far from this while it happened. But with the clarity of the water, and the size of the hammerhead, I am fairly certain every beachgoer would have seen this beast before it got too close.

Either way, great job getting the footage Mr. Moore, and glad you still have your trolling motor.
