AGAINST ALL ODDS -BIG BULL and BIG JEWFISH
It was a good trip to the Keys ,but Jonathan and I were by ourselves . It started out slow and ended up hot. We caught four snapper, four jacks, one nice gag grouper,a Bull shark and a solid Jewfish. The Bull hit me on my Duel 4/0 it was a damned good fight. The tide was coming in towards the Gulf side . First the shark wrapped me on a trap,and then I got him off and it wrapped me under the bridge but my long leader saved me.Its not easy fighting a big bull in the current with just a 4/0 but I managed to get him free . Me fighting the bull and Jonathan had his 14/0 out and did not hear his reel going out,,,,,he was zzzzzzz
. By the time we reached the rod his reel was almost empty
of line. He reeled it all the way in ,got it up and down and followed me down the bridge to take pics and release these two big fish.This was a unique chance to take pics of a big bull and big jewfish side by side I cant remember seeing ever that before. In March is and April the fishing turns red hot on the bridges.
Thank You Hammer for telling me where the fishing line was, I almost lost that Golith on the driving bridge, that bull was a Monster!!!!! Hammer and myself was driving home listening to the song " The choice is yours, you can get with this or you can get with that " by Black Sheep.

It's a clip line attached to the swivel at the top of his wire.What you see at the snout seems to be a piece of the bait.
