Narrative:
As pilot flying; we encountered stick shaker upon rotation. Aircraft was flying properly but we determined the captain's indications were inaccurate resulting in the stick shaker warning. Transferred control of the aircraft to my first officer (first officer) and we continued climbout until we had reached a safe altitude. While continuing climbout; I consulted our QRH and ran through all checklists pertinent to the conditions we encountered. Contacted dispatch and maintenance for guidance. Knowing that we were overweight for return; we continued with aircraft flying fine utilizing the first officer's and standby instruments. Knowing that the weather enroute was VMC all the way; we continued and with fuel calculations by both ourselves and dispatch determining that we would land with approximately 5000 pounds of fuel. With alternates available if weather conditions changed; we continued on to our destination. Arrival; approach; and landing were uneventful.autopilot initially available and then inoperative; captain's side IAS; aoa; and altitude disagree warnings displayed. Fuel diff press light intermittent the entire flight. Approximately 40 minutes into the flight with stick shaker continuous; we pulled the associated circuit breaker and silenced the stick shaker. Upon arrival; post-flight inspection revealed the captain's side alpha/aoa vane to be damaged. A return; while considered; should have been accomplished. A reconsideration of pulling the stick shaker circuit breaker should have been conducted.

Title: B737 Captain experienced stick shaker at rotation and after determining that the Captain's instruments are faulty; control is transferred to the First Officer. With the aircraft flying normally the crew elected to continue to destination. Post flight inspection revealed a damaged AOA vane on the Captain's side.
Narrative: As Pilot Flying; we encountered stick shaker upon rotation. Aircraft was flying properly but we determined the Captain's indications were inaccurate resulting in the stick shaker warning. Transferred control of the aircraft to my First Officer (FO) and we continued climbout until we had reached a safe altitude. While continuing climbout; I consulted our QRH and ran through all checklists pertinent to the conditions we encountered. Contacted Dispatch and Maintenance for guidance. Knowing that we were overweight for return; we continued with aircraft flying fine utilizing the FO's and standby instruments. Knowing that the weather enroute was VMC all the way; we continued and with fuel calculations by both ourselves and Dispatch determining that we would land with approximately 5000 pounds of fuel. With alternates available if weather conditions changed; we continued on to our destination.
