Went shark fishing with Trob and my neighbor on Monday. It was Glassy out with lots of bait around. Trolled Rapalas out to a current break 4+ miles on the outside then turned south. Searched for sharks forever and saw only 1 swirl next to a small kelp. Landed my Tady 45 on it which erupted into a spot of whitewater. Unfortunately it wasn't the "Right Kind".
Bled out to 29-15 on the Certified Scale. Empty stomach, but he had some potential. Big head, big tail, small body. Caught on a mint/white 45 with my newly wrapped 9' Kencor (something about freshly wrapped rods that attract fish). Newell 338 and 40lb Izorline.
One of the best YT fights ive ever experienced. Just about kicked my butt with a 9' stick. The reel was super loose on the rod, Luckily a Torpedo Sinker helped to tighten a little bit and stop some of the wobbling.
