(Others feel free to reply; I'm just trying to get him back!)
What does pursuing a fish have to do with $10,000?

Is that the story I seem to remember reading about where some monster fish died (aged 18 or threabouts?) and just prior to some lavish internment was 'kidnapped' complete with coffin? I don't remember exactly where the $10,000 came in - was there a reward for its recovery? but I know when it was found it was too, er, slippery to bury!
OK, now shoot me ~ it's something else much more abstruse, isn't it?!

[giggle] Nope; I think I'll let you stew for a while, and see if anybody else chimes in. <EG>

Is shark perhaps slang for US$10,000? Sharks chase fish to eat?

I don't know any slang for $10,000. Plenty for $1000 -- Grand, K, Key, Large (though I've heard "large" refer to millions as well -- guess that's inflation for you!)
Is it something about 10K = tank (as in fish tank)?

Well, there is such a thing as fish stew, though I can hardly imagine anything nastier; and yes, it does have to do with $10,000, though not tank. (But that IS a good association--fish...tank--wish I'd thought of it!) Okay, here's a blatant hint: think of another word for pursue.
