We recently wrote about a two-headed bull shark found by fishermen. One of our readers, Christopher Johnston, then sent us an email with photos he had taken on September 27, 2008 of a similarly surprising find: a two-headed blue shark. As far as we know these photos have never been published anywhere before.
As we previously reported, there have been only about a half dozen reported cases of two-headed sharks. The phenomenon arises through conjoined development of twins, the same process that produces what used to be called Siamese twins in people.

But sharks were certainly on the roste. Brunswick native Chris Wegner and Buffalo, N.Y., resident Adam Steck — who joined Vanessa Tarr of Portland and Tony Gelardi of Kennebunkport as the anglers on the excursion for Day 1 of the tourney — each hooked a blue shark before the Atlantic Adventurer motored back into Port Harbor Marine for its weigh-in.
