Shark Fever

Went out for a short trip with Kingsley. Intended to catch some Longfin Trevally (Sagai) but since Kings brought some balloons along, we ended up using most of our catch as bait for sharks. Had four solid hookups on 50 pound tackle, lost one possible Giant Garoupa which made it to the rocks, lost a monster that bit right through the 80 lb wire leader, lost another 5 footer which took the biggest Sagai bait, and landed the final 4 footer which we released after some pics. It was an enjoyable trip indeed, especially when the shark fever ended and we headed to the Best Spot.

Here's the Sagai we used as bait to hook up a five footer lost at boatside.

Here's what's left of it.

Here's a video of the fight with the smaller 4 footer we caught and released. Enjoy!!!

We're gonna bring more balloons next time.

Here's the Blacktip we released to fight another  day.
