Reel Adventure 131 LB Shark!

July 1st, 2008 by SFTC Press

Today I had John Ribble and Paul Rocha and his son aboard for the third year in a row shark fishing. These are some awesome guys and I look foward to our trip every year as much as they do. We just click and a good time is had by all!

In 2006 we slayed them and they were hooked from there on! 2007 we missed out due to no shrimp boats that day. Well today I was able to redeem myself and it was a huge relief to do so. The first 3 hits on 5o lb stand up rods with 200lb braided line with 9/0 hooks came off. We quickly realized we had some monsters, they were bending out 9/0 hooks!!! Next hit we kept it on, they fought it for 45 minutes and passed the rod between the 3 of them. Up comes a 131 lb shark and not a minute too soon by the look on their faces.  I think we went 6 for 9 today with a few more runs that we didnt even count. We also pout 2 more in the boat about 80-90 pounds!

Thanks guys! I am already looking foward to next year!

Here are the pics!

Hello everyone! The Wrightsville Beach Fishing and the Carolina Beach Fishing has been great!

Please check out our latest video. It is another amberjack video and is about 3 minutes long.

The shark fishing behind the shrimp boats is starting to heat up rght off the beach. We caught them as fast as we could go a few days last week. The King Mackerel and Amberjack fishing is hot at the 5 to 15 mile wrecks.

This was a first for me. I have had these flying fish bounce off the boat and fly across my bow while running. After all these years this is the first time one has jumped in the boat. After a quick picture we stopped and put lines out with this guy in the spread. He trolled nicely but never got eaten.
