My Long Key Hammer! 10ft 7in (August 2015)

JDHammer, JPsharker, Fightinglady08, and I set out late Friday afternoon for the weekend in hopes of catching enough for a fish fry; however, we ended up with a lot more than we bargained for. Three cudas, two lobster, and one healthy hammerhead!

On Friday I caught one cuda on the wrong tide at long key.

Saturday morning Jonathan and Hammer caught two lobster despite some crazy boaters. Later that afternoon we put out bonita on three rods. Jonathan's 14/0 got hit so I yelled for him; he yelled back "set the hook, get em'!" So I have to thank you Jonathan for giving me the opportunity to make a catch of a life time! The fight was 30 brutal knuckle scraping minutes up and down the bridge.

PS: my biggest catch on a circle hook.


Sweet bend on the six foot rod!


A crowd gathered in awe!


Good shot from down the seawall (note the two feet of double wire)!


We called it the "Herb Goodman special!"


Just an average fisherman.

No Mark, you aren't just an average fisherman. Congratulations on your beautiful hammer! It's quite an accomplishment to keep a large shark like that away from the poles on Long Key! :D
