OK, here is my first report. I have been on the site for a few years but have not posted much. I am turfed off another site now for supporting this one. I've paid my dues and am now a member here. I am hoping my pics will come up. Question, do you use the direct image from Photobucket?
Anyway.
I was down at our condo for a few weeks and unfortunately experience some very windy conditions. It seemed to calm down on some evenings but none the less we did get some baits wet. I had a few highlights which follow in no relevant order.
1- Caught several blacktips of sizes varying between 3 and 6 feet. I don't really count them anymore as anything more than a bit of fun and in fact a bit of a pain as they keep steeling our baits.
2- Met up with Jason - NCsharker. Seems like a cool dude who is totally focused on catching beasts. We didn't hook up for a serious nite, but I hope to once I get down in the beginning of July. OK Jason, I give in and will go down to your spot.
3- Caught 4 snook on my new fly rod. What a blast! unfortunately the one slot snook was caught on May 1st. 
Thank you Norm Zeigler, your shminnow flies work wonderfully.
4- Hooked into a monster which dragged me down the beach ripping line off my 12/0 then twisted and bit through 600 lb wire cable, taking the hook with it. Nothing grabbed onto my 14/0 all two weeks except a 6 foot blacktip.
5- Caught our personal best Lemon Shark ( Jerry Hodgkins and I) 9'6" and really, really fat. I think it had a 57inch girth. definitely pregnant and ready to pop. She swam away well. hopefully the one decent picture of her will come up above. We had a guy Richard who was eager to help and was shining a spot on every fish we caught. Ruined all our pics.
We have a kick arse tip planned for July. 6 days on the beach without relent.

If the pic doesn't come I will try again below.
That would put the guesstimated weight well over 400lbs, and igfa world record is 405lbs
Nice fish

that is a freaking stud
We figured that it would be up there. I know that there have been longer Lemons caught. This one actually looked strange it was so fat, like a massive guppy. I am so mad that the pics were spoiled. Maybe Jerry has a good pic he can put up. She was caught at low tide and it was a SOB to get in. It took Jerry and I with the tail rope all we could do to get her just into shallow water. We had a heck of a time getting her back in the water. We were worried that we might hurt her. I am being conservative with the 9'6". Could have stretched the tail out a bit more, but we were rushing and were eager to get the girth.
Might have been worth something in the BHC.
That's one big girl,should be in the 300lb class....Dave
Here is the post Will. I will get a few more pics. I did take one with the tape, but it ended up a big blur due to the spot light.
That is one huge lemon shark!
