My biggest bull 8 Ft 3 inch: No name key bridge 2/2011

All week long, I was waiting to go to the keys, my friend Achot from school took me down. We started at long key but there were no fish. We kept going south and we hit 7-mie bridge; lost a tarpon and stingray, got one limit on snapper and got a nice grouper just under keeper, but the sharks weren't there. Headed down to old wooden, met up with JD Fagan, drove 45 minutes both ways to pick up an 88lb amberjack and some redfish for bait. Got back to the bridge and unloaded and JD was quick to the draw; he put out a very small kingfish carcass. He called me and said: "Im on" I thought he was BSing, he put out just one minute ago, but when he wet hook, something yanked him to the rail. Got a video railed bowed up on the harrington CLICK TO VIEW VIDEO Stripped out in 5 minutes on the 9/0, he got caught in the lobster trap about 300 yards out. After an hour of tring to get him unstuck, we finally tied off JD's rod. I threw out a redfish carcass on top and it got slammed but didnt get to it on time. Decided to put out a 20lb chunk of aj on the surface, after 20 minutes JD called me over and said there is a shark circling your bait, so i dropped it down to the bottom and within 2 miutes it was gulped. I did the running man then a couple of sets and i was nailed to the rail. The shark stripped me out and cut left and right multiple times but after an hour and 30 minutes of hard work we beached it. BIG BULL, 300LBS ESTIMATE 8' 3" Say cheese Big Bull Female Story isnt over yet, next morning JD went out on his kayak and with the help of two jetskiiers he clipped a snap swivel tied to my 12/0 and his 14/0 to the swivel on the leader of the shark, he estimated the bull at 8.5-9 ft, once we got up we power winched it about 20 yards and the wire kinked.... I was kind of ridiculously tired when i wrote this post, but id like to give a thanks to my friend Achot for getting his dad up at 4 in the morning to take us down to the keys, i showed him how to get sum nice snapper and a nice grouper as a bicatch, at old wooden he put out a kingfish and it got slammed, soon to be new member of the shark club. get ready for a tough new junior angler

It's a possibility, Mark, but we only seem to find time to go when it's a three day weekend. Always too many chores to attend to at home on the weekend.
