Heres a pic of the 8' tiger. It is un believiable how much trouble we had geting a pic. Joeys camera tore up 5 times so we managed to get a few on the old fasion 35 mm. The lantern got knocked down and broke so the video cam would not work. I am going to get a digital camera just for sharkin. Notice the date on that one. ha ha. oh well.

I just streightened the camera problems out, went and got a good waterproof digital camera the 35mm is out of date. If ya notice im wearing a southflorida t shirt in both tiger pics. one hammer chalenge one shark club. I dont think those were made in 2004. Notice i had to take that pic off the computer screen and the date on it is 01-01 so obviously we were having batrie issues. We turned out with no bites off those tuna heads. We sat 16 hrs with those 4 yellowfin heads and one bonita. That sandbar was avrage. We have caught 8.5' sandbars before. Some of them are light blue when alive. Beautifull healthy mature sharks. I have also got alot of returns on the sandbars i have tagged, mostly from mexican longliners.

I am surprised that the Mexican Longliners actually return the tags considering that they fish illegally a lot in our waters and don't give a s__t of future stocks! ???
