Mark the Shark: Inside the World of the Most Notorious Shark Hunter on Earth

from Hidden Florida and Beyond · host ICON

Mark the Shark — the world’s most infamous shark hunter — joins Hidden Florida & Beyond for a wild, unfiltered conversation that dives straight into the deep end of his 50‑year career on the water. From catching sharks on Miami beaches before Jaws hit theaters, to becoming a legend in the sportfishing world, Mark shares how a nickname shouted across the sand turned into a global persona. He opens up about the realities of shark hunting, why he never steps foot in the water, Florida’s exploding shark population, and the misconceptions that swirl around these apex predators. The stories get even crazier:1,500‑pound tiger sharks, celebrity clients like DeNiro and Will Smith, bizarre autopsies revealing everything from live turtles to cash‑filled Ziploc bags, even the day a human leg surfaced on his boat and shut down an entire neighborhood. Mark is joined by Crockett — the 9‑year‑old shark‑catching prodigy currently starring in his own film — whose iguana‑catching, fish‑hauling fearlessness steals the show. Hidden Florida & Beyond... where the real stories live beneath the surface.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
