Surf fishing again today to end the week, only had two takes and hooked up to both. this was the first shark to take and the slightly larger one at 44". I apologize about the pic, cropping to fit in the app was an issue and my sister takes bad photos. Didn't fight too hard for it's size, only one good run, had him in pretty quickly. still love catching medium size sharks especially in the surf.
