HAMMER TIME
Getting burned
4/0 wide left handed? With braid, the fight will be tough!
Hammers don’t stop for nobody
Not even relatives

Mark thank for posting. I would not swim in the spots you call YE OL SWIMMING HOLES. 
.
Wow, thous pictures with the hammerhead are awesome! I wish that i would have a nice fighting harness with me, that would cut so much from the fighting time.
Overall this hammerhead shark was truly a community caught fish (william's words), but man - that was so much fun!!!
great pics
Here are the details used to catch that hammerhead:
Crowder rod EBR8030 8' long 30-80lb line class;
Penn reel 113HL (4/0 Left Hand retrieve) NOT WIDE 4/0 AS MENTIONED ABOVE!(tuned drag with 6 drag washer smoothies "thin", 5 metal drag washer "thin" and Cal's drag grease);
500yds of 100lbs braided line (purchased on ebay from china) @$26 and 3 weeks of waiting to get it;
10' long at 130lb mono leader (Striker) purchased form Dick's Sporting Goods for about $8 100yds long;
7' 131lb hard wire leader, doubled up 20" at the hook paid $6 from Sports Authority;
within the wire leader 2ft from the hook i had 200lbs swivel ($4 Dick's), then another 5ft of wire (7ft total wire leader)
16/0 mustad circle hook (paid $3 for 2 from Sports Authority);
electrical tape ($1 Dollar Store) wrapped from the hook barb all the way on the doubled hard wire - about 10" of wrapping;
one cut piece of stingray - about 4-5lb bait paid with a HUGE THANK YOU TO JDHAMMER.
As far as knot what i did is a reverse Albright knot 20 wraps total of 100lb braid to 130lb mono.
The 130lb mono to 131lb wire i use a personal knot that looks like Albright and works better then Albright knot but its NOT Albright knot!! (when you see me ask me to show you how to do this knot due to the fact that i haven't seen this made by nobody). I lost few fish on Albright knot, then i decided to "invent" my own - so i did and works!
With this setup i was able to cast about 20yds from the end of the pier.
Boghy could you take a complete pic, of one of your shark rigs. So we can see it.
THANKS HAMMER.
nice sharks lakeworth pier is on fire. I might just have to take a trip down there
Thx for the report guys it looks like everyone is killin' it over there..extraordinary winter catches. The hammer on a 4/0 is quite a feat. Nice to see that light leader material got the job done.

I was watching all thous knots on youtube but none of them is not even near to this knot.
This knot (mono to wire) is tightening in such a way that the wire won't exercise any pressure on the mono to the point were the mono line would get cut by the wire under high loads.
I'll make a youtube video about this knot, and post the link here. If you guys recognize this know, please let me know, so far i didn't find anything like it on the web.
