THE PENN 16/0 ON THE BEACH. THE BIG HAMMER FOUGHT FOR OVER AN HOUR. JD HAMMER AND JD FAGAN DOUBLE UP ON THIS BIG HAMMER. THE HAMMER DIDN"T HAVE A CHANCE.
MARK WILL POST PICS. THE HAMMER WAS NOT BROUGHT UP TO THE BEACH. FAGAN JUMPED IN TO RELEASE IT AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO MEASURE. HE SWAM AWAY STRONG. 
ITS BETTER TO SEE THE HAMMER SWIM STRONG THAN TO DRAG HIM UP TO THE BEACH AND KILL THIS BEUITFUL ANIMAL. DON"T NEED A DEAD HAMMER ON THE BEACH.
Palm beach style rod in its territory.
Check out the wind and waves.
Had to get away from the jetty.
The tide was high and the sand was low!
Time to takeover my rod!
Strong fish.
10-11ft hammer caught on Earnie's rig and cownose ray and Mark's knots.
Releasing her.
She swam!
We KNOW it swam off.
All the way around the tip of the jetty.
It's hard to do in a tournament but this strategy works pretty well to get those big hammers off and away.
I look forward to the pics!

When you get a hammer on the beach like that you don't have time for videos if you want it to swim off well.
