From the story, the fisherman used:


a six-pound Bonita for bait and an 80 pound test line

Do you think he thought there might be something big off the end of his dock? Most folks don't rig offshore baits to fish on their docks.

Do you East Coast Florida folks see shark like this in your back yards?

Here in North Florida we dont get them that close to home. I have a couple buddies that shark fish around here pretty regularly, but most of it is done well offshore. We do get some pretty good size hammer heads during summer time when the Kings are all over place. I personally dont target them, but have had a couple take Sword baits.

Crikey she's a beaut! :drool:

A Person just caught a thousand pound Mako only about two hundred yards off the coast of Orange Beach, Alabama.

I had a shark saturday come unbuttoned :sad: from my line about two in the morning in the five to six foot range. I'll be back there this weekend rigged up for shark.

Three weeks ago I was tuna fishing 125 miles out around "Floater oil rigs". It was 11:00 pm and we were catching nice black fin. A real huge shark surfaced and ate a 20 lb. tuna like candy. Later on we had a school of hundreds of sharks (6ft. x 50 lb range) at all depths around the stern of the boat. They would come up and touch the stern and dive platform. We had lights attracting squid, etc. and I guess it drew them in.

Fall in the water and you are "dead meat". I hate to catch those damn things, as they wore me out trying to get to the tuna.

No endangered sharks in our gulf out of s/w Louisiana.

Here are some pictures to check out. This is a 2000 lb. black Marlin that got hit by a Tiger shark. One Bite. The thing there was a tuna eating at the tail when the tiger Shark hit. This was in Australia.
