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

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!

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!!

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...

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

BAD IDEA!!
