Me, Will and Chris headed north and met up with Ernie Polk and his son Jamie to fish the Panhandle looking for a biggun that did not materialize but just the same we had a good time.

we sit and wait for the big one

Crews of ten men rake the shoreline looking for signs of oil -but none are here yet


we take baits out while around us the oil spill crews feverishly prepare for the possible catostrophy

Ernie's son Jamie fights his first shark like a pro

Jamie and his nurse shark

A small blacktip



Will's fat bull shark

staying in the shade is the only way



I get hooked up to the best fish of the trip ,fight it for 10 minutes and it spits the hook





tagged and released



the release

I had a great time from beginning to end! Here are a few of my photos.
Will was very excited about the trip!

The car was packed to the hilt.

Beautiful country roads.

Some of our weapons of destruction.



We witness a great sunset.

Will coaching Jamie on his 1st shark.

Will showing Jamie how it's done on his Bull.

Ernie beached the Bull and Travis tagged it.




Will with the healthy release.

It was a beautiful TAG STICK. I have no luck. I break or loose something every trip. Travis did a great job designing it. I highly recommend it and I think I will be getting one. I broke the needle which had nothing to do with Travis's workmanship. Actually, its the 2nd tagging needle I broke since May.
