Rodrigo Rodriguez drives four hours to the beach each weekend, and each trip is a chance to beat his personal best, to come home to Houston with an even bigger hammerhead shark story.

Mr. Rodriguez, an oil refinery worker, drove south of Galveston and, on Saturday, June 8, reeled in his biggest hammerhead yet. His last largest, caught two weeks earlier, was 11 feet, 6 inches long. This new one was 13 feet, 2 inches.
