Palm Beach Tigers-DOUBLE TROUBLE ON A FULL MOON

slasherx4 · 2011-07-15T10:54:37Z

got a call from JD hammer waking me up to go to the pier, we made it to the pier and was given a couple of bonitas by the local fisherman. Being the lousy fishermen that we were, we couldn't catch our own bait, and JD's brand new torium on a 9ft gator flies over the rail on a snook and was dragged around the bottom, later snagged by JD and rinsed out for 30 minutes by me. Our friend Loren asked if he could come with us to shark fish on the beach, we took him and got 3 baits out near juno in a secret spot, but only 2 were sent way out. Within 30 minutes of all baits deployed, JD (not facing his rod) asks if all the lines are ok, sure enough the 16/0 was slack, I ran over and reeled in the slack, the fish ran teh clicker, JD gave it a few minutes and did teh running man up the beach, the shark was hit good. Big shark, stripped drag for 5 minutes straight, ran north hard, took a few more good runs, lots of headshakes and soon it was beached, me and loren couldn't pull it out of the water. Big shark 9' 2" 350lbs released nicely by me and JD. Right after release we set down the vitals, rinse off in the water and check our rods, I walked over to my 12/0 with JD Fagan on the phone and I get hit solid, i throw the phone to Loren, pick up my rod, give it 2 minutes and do the running man up the whole beach, felt him on but then didn't feel anything, it tugged again, i did the running man once again, still didnt feel anything, it tugged again, i did the running man again, third time's a charm, he pulled some drag, brought him right into the surf then he pulled some serious drag and after that he was beached. been known to do the running man so many times the shark ends up on the beach without a fight Smaller shark 6' 8" 100-150lbs released nicely by me and loren. Also 4 nights ago JD fished with Snook hunter and got an 8' 4" lemon, but didn't have his camera, maybe chris will post pictures soon if he got any. he's on getting burned still stripping line She's beached!!! so fat we couldn't pull it out of the water mouth as big around as a bucket 30 minutes later I had mine beached loren with a good jaw shot my second tiger TWIN TIGERS IN 2 HOURS!!!
