24 Aug 09 Georgia report massive Lemon -11 foot(2009)

Jason called me about 1300 today sayin he was on his was to GA again. His goul was not a shark but a job and why not do alittle shark fishing while he here.

At 1800 Christina and I get our gear to the beach and get set up had all our baits out by 1830 And waited for Willie and Jason to arrive. Our lines sat un touched well after They arrived and got thier baits rigged. I yaked thier baits ZZZZZZZZZ the 14/0 slow rolls I am still out in the yak but the shark dropped the bait.

Not to long after Jason rod doubles and line screams off the reel he gets set up

And slams it in gear locking down on the fish only to find out his new 80w doesnt have enough drag pressure to stop the fish as fast as he thought

After a 25 min fight the shark is within 50 yards of the beach the shark gets closed and just when the leader was about to come out the water he surged and the fish is lost leader and all.

Jason is heart broken knowing he just lost the biggest fish of his life. he takes a break I re rig the 14/0 and he desides to re rig as well. I yak out a big chunk of amberjack on the 14/0 and he puts out more ray.

we Sit and wait about a hour later he is hooked up again.

I leader the fish

Another just under 8 foot lemon.

the release

He gets another bait ready and I reyak the bait.
Around 2330 the 14/0 rolls I give him line and after I know he has got the bait down I set the hook.

Christina gets harnessed up and its fish on.

Its all Smiles

Drag is super hot yelling for water.

Don't forget this behemoth 11 foot lemon shark one of the biggest of ever and a contender against TOS 11 footer from Jensen beach.This big lemon was caught by one tough lady.
