Fishing Trip
This is one of three fairly large sharks I brought up to the boat using only 15 lb line. It was perhaps 6 foot, maybe a little more. One other I caught was probably over 7 foot. This one took me about an hour to bring within gaffing distance because I was using such a light line.
We let all of the big ones go. No use in killing them. We did keep a couple of smaller ones that we ate. Click on that arrow in the bottom left. I don't know why I got an extra arrow in the video. My buddy hit one of the biggest sharks in the head with a pipe just to see what he would do. Man, that shark went apeshit.

The last picture is the second best part of a fishing trip! |

Way to cool. It's been a while since I've had any shark. May have to talk my brother into going on a fishing trip and have him send me some steaks.

Cool, you did better that I thought. Did you ever get down to Isla Morada or did you just stay around the mainland?

We didn't hit any of the big ones. We did go to Dildo key though.

From the pictures I'd say you had a good trip, good weather, good fishing and good eats ... can't beat that.
