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 :o :o :o . By the time we reached the rod his reel was almost empty :lol: :lol: :lol: 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. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D :D :D

are you using rope for leader or is that a gaff in the bulls nose?

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.
