From Monday to Thursday James (Bigreels16) and I fished around the west coast. Monday night at the skyway we only got one run on James' 14 but got broke off on the rocks. Tuesday night James got a 6'1" bull off the skyway. He's got the pics on that one. Wednesday during the day while snagging some more rays in a new spot I saw a big bull fin cruising on the flat, probly a 9' bull 50 yds from where we were. So I got my rod and floated out a ray and 45 mins. later it got slammed. It ended up dropping the bait right before I went to set hook. That night we went to the beach and James got a 7' sandbar, I got a 6'2" and 6'10" bull. Right at sunrise a big bull picked up James' bait and was peeling off line but unfortunately the hooks pulled and got caught on a ledge.

Here's the pictures of the Skyway Bull. Sorry about the picture quality I just wanted to hurry up and release it to keep it alive.And I didn't wanna gaff it so a guy offered to use is landing net that got all mangled up by the Bull. (first shark ever off a pier or bridge) & I must say its hard work. So shout out to all the guys that make it look easy on the bridges & piers.
