That's a cool hammerhead shark!
How much line do you think that it pealed?

Looks like yall in the lead for the biggun. Lookin good JD and friends. Man things are hot down there. Not trying to pry but what did it eat? Its nice to realize why we toat those odd looking big reels around all the time. Folks look at our reels and say "you are fishing with a wench" or "what are you trying to catch? mobie dick" Its nice to laugh and know that they just dont understand. All you guys fishing with ya bottom reel would have been out of line and the shark would have been 18' in ya dreams. That is a big shark and it took a shark reel to catch it. Congrats. :mrgreen:
