I think it's a snag! First trip in SC with Requiem.

Just got settled down here in Charleston, started talking to Stan and we had dreams of monster Great Whites so we have decided to push hard through the winter seeing whats actually still around here. We made it out this past Sunday with conditions not in our favor. 45 degrees, raining and windy, conditions are good on the water like normal for here. I can tell I will be spoiled here.

Anyway we get set up and first on the list is catch bait, we set out the little rods and catch whiting right off the bat which is a good sign. They are on the small side but you have to start somewhere. We decided to kayak one of the larger ones out on Stan's Daiwa Isla and try for a ray so we could bait up his Everol. Im still waiting for my new toy to get in. So I run it out and the waiting game begins. The bait fishing slowed down and we were talking it up and his rod starts going off, seemed a little larger than he expected. The line stopped moving so he says " I think its a snag!" Just then the line starts peeling off and the fight is on. After about 15 minutes the Isla subdued the shark. Ended up to be a large male Sandbar at 83.5 inches. Good start to the winter season. I have high hopes for this winter and only time will tell.

Stan hooked up to the "Snag."

Not quite the snag he thought he had.
