A tiger over 8ft and a MONSTER LOST.

JD553 · 2012-08-06T20:38:50Z

well luis picked me up from my house just the other day and me and his kids headed up north looking to do battle with some monsters.we got to the spot late afternoon and just took are time setting up, there were to many people on the beach at the time so we just waited a while and watched the kids fish and they caught some small cudas, it was awesome watching them catch them. at 7:00 we took out the first bait but we couldent keep the slack out of the line, so we reeled back in and put a bigger rock on.then out went the next bait on the 14/0 two 14/0's with whole bonitas i was feelin pretty good about it but shortly after we droped baits the nurse or some small sharks found are baits an were just bumping the rods. so a few hours later we reel in and we have no bait, its a good thing luis said lets reel in cause i dident feel like getting up.if it wasent for luis we wouldent have hooked these two sharks, so thank you luis for getting us to reel in. so we took out two more baits and the same thing started to happen they started off bumping luis rod and then mine. so i reeled mine in some trying to get it away from whatever was messing with it, then about 30 minuits later i get a solid run and then it stops but i could still feel the weight off the shark there so i hit the running man hard and i was on, it started pulling nice drag and it faught realy good with some veary nice runs. the fight lasted 15 minuits and there it was in the surf big bull? its a tiger! it was and awesome catch and great team work with luis and his kids.the kids helped out so mutch PROPS to them. then we head back to are spot and reel in the other bait and put out two more baits a chunk of jack on one 14/0 and a 10 pound jack head on the other 14/0. about 30 minuits goes buy or less and the jack head starts getting bumped and then after it messed with it for a minuite it picks it up and starts hauling straight out with it super fast. luis lets it eat and then sets up on it hard numerouse times then it starts pulling heavy drag and then there was some slack he got like two cranks in and then it started dumping the real with no sighns of stoping so after a few minuites or so he started to tighten down just a little more, and the line poped on a fray in the line. so the monster was lost but we will be back for more with are game faces on and ready for any kind of battle they can bring fourth. WERE COMING FOR YOU BIG DOG AND YOUR BUDDIES SO WATCH OUT!

Great report. Nice tiger! It was nice meeting you guys the other night. Wish we could have stayed and fished but I wasn't feeling too good. We would've definitely loved to take another bait out once it calmed down and stayed a couple more hours. Hopefully we run into you guys again next time you come up north

thanks man. it was nice meeting you to. did you guys lose a knife sheath?
