Shark Stories

wpage
Sharks have been really getting the bad end of the stick since Jaws came out...

Having caught a few and swam in some and observed others they seem like just another silly fish.

Once had a big 10' hammerhead ruin a good fishing trip. He would not go away. Even after several moves.

Have you got a shark story?

    Never caught one but would love to try one out for size. I only got to try ocean fishing one time some years ago and I remember it cost $300 for a four hour tour. I did not catch anything I know that is why it is called fishing and not catching. I didn't think I was going to make it out into the gulf as we broke out of the harbor the waves almost did me in for a second. That was out of a harbor near Panama City. Seems funny to me now as the waves that day were not as big as some of the cruiser waves I see now.

    I was out on a Mutton Snapper trip with a commercial fishin buddy I used to fish for.We were using 100' leaders,as the fish were very "lead shy".
    That meant U had to hand line the fish the last 100'.I had a nice one on,got the lead up and in the rod holder .(rule #1 on commercial boat,NO SWINGIN LEAD)
    I had it hand lined to about 15' from the boat and a roughly 12-14' hammerhead came up,jaws wide open,about to swallow my fish.I gave a MIGHTY yank and pulled the fish right out of it's mouth,he kept on coming! He kept coming until about 5 FEET OF HIM WAS INSIDE THE BOAT!!
    Luckily,their was still 7-8 feet of him in the water and he slid out,instead of all the way in!!Talk about a PISSED OFF SHARK.That 14' hammerhead started doing 8Foot figure eights behind the boat!!!
    WE GOT the HELL outta there,as fast as a Detroit V6-92 Diesel can move a 34'open fishing boat, with a hardtop on it can get!!![:0]

    Caught a 6.5' Nurse while Dea Sea fishing for Grouper.

    Felt like pulling a fridge up. No real fight though.

    Caught a 6 foot (quessed to be 180lbs) Bull shark off the coast of Jupiter Florida. Hit like a frieght train and fought for 45-50 min. Got it at the end of a four hour session on the "Blue Herring" head boat. I was on the back of the boat fighting and some guy was hanging off the front hooked on a big Bull at the same time. Never had anything that big since. That thrill interupted a great day of catching red and yellow tail snappper.

    Used to fish quite a bit for Makos off of SoCal. Nothing bigger than 150#s. Some of the best tasting meat on the planet and they put up one hell of a fight!!

    Never really caught one and don't intend either. I think that they are a marvelous creation of nature and should be kept unharmed....
