Grew up fishing with my Dad, great great GREAT MAN BUT EVEN BETTER AT FINDING. ..TRIGGERING. ...AND CATCHING FISH! I HAVE FISHED everything ...more from the Great North, ( L.O.W.) TO THE WARM SHALLOW FLATS OF THE KEYS .... AND EVERYTHING in between! I COULD WRITE FOR DAYS. also got to portage and fish back County lakes way up North woods Canada...some of those trips we would catch 100+ fish between two guys in 3 to 4 hours, from a canoe! GREAT EXPERIENCE. I've fished the flats and backcountry waters of the Florida Keys! Caught a 200lb reef shark with a 2 piece 1970 pole rented from the front desk, LINE HAD TO BE OVER 8 YEARS OLD and probably only 14-20lb mono, ARMED WITH A OLD RUSTY, BENT UP DULL HOOK. ...THAT'S IT! ......BOUGHT RAW SHRIMP AT THE GROCERY STORE AND CAUGHT LOTS OF SMALLER REEF N FLAT FISH, AFTER CATCHING LITTLE GUYS OVER N OVER AGAIN, IT WAS DARK OUT, SUN SET...SO. ...I TOOK THAT OLD HOOK AND HOOKED THE NEXT FISH WE I CAUGHT RIGHT THROUGH the meaty part of its tail. Next I casted the live hooked fish as far out into the shallow dark flats, set the rod between two rocks n forgot about it for about 35 minutes,.....!!!! AFTER ABOUT 40 MINUTES OF BEER DRINKING n Shit talking WITH MY BUDDY PRESTON (IT WAS SPRING BREAK, 2008, LAST NIGHT OF OUR EPIC ADVENTURE, it was time to relax, hence fishing off old motel pier) As we watched the white shadows of a Manatee family pass by in the still clear warm waters. .....WE HURD WHAT I KNEW TO BE A LARGE FISH EXPLODING THROUGH THE WATER AND SMASHING BACK INTO THE WATER LIKE A CINDER BLOCK, we looked at each other. .LIKE WHAT THE HELL. ..cuz it was almost 60 yards out in the water n dark, NO VISUAL! THEN THE OLD 2 PIECE RENTED FROM THE FRONT DESK FISHING POLE TURNED TO A SOLID BOUNCING C SHAPE, AND THE OLD LINE STARTED SCREAMING OFF THE REEL, WE RAN TO THE ROD, GRABBED IT BEFORE IT SHOT OUT OF THE TEMPORARY ROD HOLDER , I SET THE HOOK. .....AND IT WAS ON! !!! THE NEXT 45 MINUTES WERE FILED WITH HIGH ADRENALINE, LOTS OF THOUGHTS ON WHAT IT WAS, LOTS OF BACK REELING TYRING TO TIRE OUT THE BEST. .(THANK GOD), PRESTON N I TOOK TURNS FIGHTING N BACK REELING EVERY 10-15 MINUTES, OR AFTER EVERY BEER WE FINISHED...HAHA. AS THE BIG BEAST GOT CLOSER OUR YELLS GOT LOUDER, ( 2 very very attractive girls heard us yelling and came over to see us, ENDED UP HANGING WITH THE GIRLS REST OF TRIP)....AND FINALLY WE SAW IT, THE BEAST. ...IT WAS A ROUGHLY 200LB REEF SHARK, TIRED BUT PUMPED I LOOKED AT THE SHARKS MOUTH, THE BENT HOOK WAS BENT IN THE PERFECT ANGLE TO CATCH A FISH THIS HEAVY, IT WAS DRIVEN INTO THE DEEP SIDE OF THE SHARKS MOUTH, EVEN SO. .HOW THE HELL THE LIGHT LINE, OLD BENT HOOK AND BAD ROD MANAGED TO HAUL THIS BEAST IN!!!! LOTS OF PICS WERE TOOK, DAD WAS VERY PROUD!, WE GOT THE GIRLS ROOM# N ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF FUN OUR LAST DAY N NIGHT. SHARK WAS RETURNED TO THE FLATS . I LOVE THAT STORY BECAUSE it involves everything I love that Fishing provides you! I HAVE NO PROBLEM SAYING I COULD COMPETE IN MAJOR LEAGUE FISHING CONTESTS FOR BASS IF THE CHANCE EVER EXISTED.....that's not a joke either. I fish mainly for Largemouth, Smallmouth, Walleyes and MUSKIE! !! 50 inch Muskie is my largest so far. I hope to learn about the lakes in my area n where to fish fir certain species! FEAR NO FISH. ....
