Headed up to Lake Worth Pier for an end of the year 'sneak attack'. Eddy, Tim, Hammer, Mark, Will, Turkey and Jonathan all came out. Put out a bonita on Bridget's 30W and waited. Bluefish started to come in pretty thick and after about an hour, 30W took off. Let it eat and jacked her (been a while since I used a J hook, missed setting up :D )

He started the burn the 30W, took a nice 300 yard run and turned it a little and then took another long run.

Was a lot of fun on the small 'weiner reel' (Will). Got him next to the pier and saw the double dorsal on a fat lemon. Was a battle to walk her down the beach, with Hammer and Will coaching. Threw the rod down to Mark, Turkey, and Jonathan on the beach, and they ran north to get it away from pier. Beached her, and taped her at 8'10" very fat shark.


Watching her run after the hook set.


Hell of a fight with no belt and harness.


Pizza and sharks, good time. Thanks Eddy.


Got her head out of the water and saw the size.


Walking her down the pier with advice from the Legends.


Fighting her on the beach


Look at that belllyyy, mini lemons for sure


8 foot 10 inch


Exhausted


Sharkers together, group shot.


Mark and Jonathan on the release, got some nice rash

Very fat lemon - nice length too - they pull pretty steady and strong - i bet that was a really fun fight on the 30w but you definitely had enough gun for the battle - those little 30w's are insanely strong.

Looks like I missed out on a good night.
It's always a mission fighting a shark from a pier when
you have them straight down.
Great work guys.

HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE LAST OF 2011 LAKE WORTH REUNION .Also had a blast watching Chris get flung around back and forth by that fat Lemon.At one point the fat lemon was playing possum(tonic immobility)upside down and looked like it kicked the bucket but when he snapped out of it and tried to dive under Chris did a great job KEEPING it OUT OF THE PILINGS.

NICE CATCH CHRIS YOU'RE A TROOPER AND KNOW HOW TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES.
