ROBERT SCHNECK: Old Hitler

Florida fishermen tell of a legendary giant hammerhead shark called Old Hitler.

"He's bigger and badder than Jaws. Got a head as wide as a pickup truck," says Larry Mastry, 53. "I've heard he's anywhere between 20 and 25 feet," says Capt. George Roux.

"He's a big boy," says Wayne Lord, 55. "That's all I know."

For decades local anglers have called him Old Hitler, the great hammerhead shark who allegedly lurks in the summertime waters around the Sunshine Skyway bridge. As the weather heats up, so do the tales about the legendary fish with an evil name who can snap a large tarpon in two with one chomp."Read more about the legend of Old Hitler at: http://www.sptimes.com/
