Caught this while fishing in the lake last Friday. It was a hell of a ride with light tackle.

how big was it? Looks pretty large

speckinabox 08-12-2010 08:36 AM

I didnt actually measure it but I know it was at least 3 ft.

southern151 08-12-2010 08:37 AM

By the looks of things, that's not light tackle! If that is your idea of light tackle, I'd hate to see what you call heavy equipment!:*****:

longsidelandry 08-12-2010 09:57 AM

haha, man the guy that does River Monsters caught 2 big azz bull sharks like 60 or 70 miles up a river in South Africa, I believe they weighed between 400 and 500 pounds if I remember right. The year before, some people caught one that went 1,000 lbs!! :eek:

we had a 6-8ft shark come up and nail a gafftop at the boat near those pilings on the beach towards Fourchon on Monday... I must have lost 20 hooks in two days to sharks...

LOL!! Yea the funny thing was the waders showed up right after we released it. There was about 10 people in the water.

southern151 08-12-2010 10:05 AM

That's cool! I've never caught a shark before. Sure it's worthless but would be a fun fight!

speckinabox 08-12-2010 10:14 AM

I know that black tips are good to eat but i have never ate one. I dont know exactly what kind it was BULL or BLACK TIP but i know it didnt want to get in the boat. I was going to try and take a pic holding it.

BAD IDEA!!
