BTC + Short (yet successful) Keys Trip
In the blacktip challenge Team "Palm Beach Pioneers" (Jimmylevelwind, Ms.lemon, Fightinglady08, Makomadness, and Slasherx4) caught 2 sharks.
5ft 7in blacktip with a 33in girth
These large pilchards were everywhere.
The keys trip started with a call from MATT STAHURA 'that they were heading over to the east coast to pickup a new reel', that plan got cancelled but they were already set on fishing so they picked me up along their way to the keys instead of palm beach which was there original plan. It was Scott, Rudy, Matt, and I; keys bound and confident.
She was hard to measure on the seawall, but it came out to 7ft 10in without stretching her.
Twenty minutes later a jewfish hit Matt's rod.
Ol' bucketmouth. Size comparison: that's the head of a 40lb cuda!
Overall it was a good trip, we laughed so hard. For one instance...
Matt: " I was texting this girl and she said she had pa-nomia"
Resto: *dies laughing*
Me: "Matt that's pneumonia"
Just an average fisherman.

The shark measured out at 94 inches without grabbing the tail and the tail was way down in the water and still kickin'! Had the shark been stretched out properly it may have gained a few more inches easily. But I always go with what's more concrete and I tend to under-exaggerate.
Just an average fisherman.
