SHARK ON A BEACH

SHARK VIDEO EXCLUSIVE


FORT LAUDERDALE - So I get call from Sharkman Drew Vacin that he's puting together a late afternoon shark trip down on the beach, from Land. So we bust out a couple of whooping sticks, and head down to the spot around 6:30. Drew has a couple buckets filled with barracudas and stinky king mackerels and starts cutting the fish up into large chunkable pieces. Drew slaps a piece of bait about half the size of your forearm onto a hook, and with a running start whip casts that thing about 60 yards out into the surf. It took about an hour, but one of the rod bends over in the rod holder and line starts flying off the reel. Drew gives the pole to Mike, and Miami has to run down the beach to get some of his line back. Its a major fight, and Mike is doing pretty well, you can tell the shark is large, and a crowd starts to gather on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Twenty minutes later the sun has set and its dark, but we can make out the large dark shape in the water. Drew runs into the surf grabs the leader, and pulls out about 50lb Spinner shark. A truly remarkable creature. We took a couple photos, and Drew gets the fish pointed the right way and its a clean release. I was surprised that Drew made it back with all of his fingers and toes, but he did. We don't hi-five but we congratulated Mike on a fish well fought, and thanked Drew for inviting us to see something you dont get to see everyday.

The Asylum strikes again. And yes thats Debbie Gibson.

SHARK LIE WEEK IS OVER

DISCOVERY CHANNEL - The Week of lies is over. The Discovery Channel has now convinced more millions of people that sharks don't eat humans. Well then I guess the Indianapolis never happened huh? According to the Shark Week, sharks dont like the taste of human flesh, and therefore those guys on the Indianapolis are all liars, and the ones that didn't make it all died from single bite wounds? I don't think so.

There is no telling how many Haitian and Cuban refugees are eaten by sharks, cause the media doesn't report it. Sure reported attacks on divers and surfers indicate that most shark attacks arent fatal, thats because logistics exist to rescue and save the victim. This is not so when there is a ship wreck. Those victims get eaten by sharks. Period.

I recently watched the acclaimed documentary SHARKWATER. Its also filled with lies. I will be posting a full review of the documentary soon.

CAUGHT - SPINNER SHARK

SOUTH FLORIDA - Check out that background. You know what the Sci Fi Channel says "We taste like chicken too" I feel a Jaws pool party is in the near future.

SHARK ATTACK - SNOOK KILLED BY BULL SHARK

FORT LAUDERDALE - Brett and Blake got into the snooks pretty well a few nights ago. They released about a dozen springers and lunkers, but lost one to a bull shark. Nevermind that irreverent grin on the fisherman's face, the kid was still high off the other big snook he had safely released. The worst part about losing a big mama snook like that to a shark is you still have to chunk it back. The FL law states you may not posses any snook in July. It dont matter that it got eaten by a bull shark. Such a sad waste.

CAUGHT - BEACH SHARKS

West Coast - Tarvus and his son Ben like to fish for big sharks off the beach in Sanibel with 12/0 gear. This time they beached a 7 foot Lemon Shark.

WTF? - SALMON SHARK

I think this story comes from Alaska, but I went to public school and was too busy flirting with hot chicks to pay attention in geography class. Anyway, this guy was fishing for Hailbut and caught something called a Salmon Shark.

After nine years fishing for halibut in Lower Cook Inlet, the biggest fish John Vargo landed weighed 100 pounds. So, for him, reeling in a 7-foot, 4-inch-long salmon shark with a leg jig, an old reel meant for salmon trolling, and a little piece of herring was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

CAUGHT - BEACH SHARKS

Beach sharking is fun, and just goes to prove why I dont swim off the beach at night unless I'm really drunk. These guys in Fort Meyers are into tagging sharks and claim to have caught this one four nights in a row.

FIGHT - HAMMERHEAD KILLINGS

There is a hysterical thread over on the FS FORUMS. This time its between the Forum freaks and the charter boat The Lady Pamela 2. It goes something like this - The Lady Pamela 2 was bragging about catching a 10 foot 8 inch Hammerhead shark. Well the forum swelled up in rage and unleashed hell onto the Lady Pamela 2 because there is no way you could get an accurate overall measurement of the fish without killing it. And why kill a fish if you are not going to eat it. For the mount? Well the mounts are all pre-molded plastic replications anyway. The fight continued into Wednesday evening as it digressed into questions of ethics and charter fishing monetization. Jump right in, its just getting good.

UPDATE - Some mate is trying to defend the practice of killing Hammerheads and Bouy fishing for Sailfish. These are issues that Obama and McCain must be asked about. The American people deserve answers!

LUNKER BAIT

The pic claims to be a Great White shark, we think its a Mako, whatta we know? I guess they got this fishing tournament and guys build their own rafts and cast out huge chunk baits. It's not for me. I know why Marlin and Great White Sharks can jump, because there are other things out there trying to eat them. Like Giant Squid.

We must stop the lies from The Discovery Channel. Shark Week has people convinced that sharks don't like eating people. Its a lie. They do. They love it. The eat People.


They also like eating Lunker snooks. Check out what they did to Brad's trophy Lunker Snook.

1000LB T-HEAD CAPT CHANCEY

Captain Chancey and Bucky Dennis wrestle a huge Hammerhead Shark on stand up tackle. Captain Chancey is always messing with some lunkers, and his videos are great. I don't know about messing with T-Heads, them sharks will give you nightmares. You ever notice how Shephard Smith from Fox News kinda has semi-T-head features? I got no problem swimming with most sharks, but T-heads? Nah, I don't mess with T-heads.
