Putting the Girls on our first Tigers

Went out last night with a pretty big group, cousins, brother, girlfriend, friends, friends of friends, and so on. Had some big baits and hoped for some big sharks. Put out a whole cuda, whole jack, and whole bonie. This spot holds tigers and we were hoping for the big boys.

The cuda got picked up first on the 14. Dragged a decent (if there is such a thing on a wasted bait) nurse. Which was prompty shark hugged by Turkey, new method to stop the nurse death rolls.

Fight

Shark Hug

Avet with a whole jack went off next. Let it eat for a while and set up. Had some weight to it. Knew it was a heavy shark, but wouldn't take drag on the Avet. Brought him about halfway in and Bridget asked if she could give it a try. We harnessed her in and let her bring it in and she did a excellent job.
8'1" Pregnant Tiger. Not sure of weight, but very heavy. Walked her out a bit, tail-whipped me and said goodbye.

Plenty of help

Finally gave her the rod

Our first tiger

Group shot

Finally, the 14 went off on a whole bonie dropped short.
Whole group was fighting over rod and we gave it to Bridget's friend Ashley. Tiny girl on a 10' Gator with a 14/0 and she brought in the second tiger of the night. Tiger was a tiny male.
