Team Knot Shore making a comeback after some VERY hard luck this past week with a 7' 4" Nurse Shark last night.

Eddie hooks up again with the AVET 50 (stuffed with 80lb Braid) as Jimbo holds the props.

Things have turned around with our new VooDoo Shark Call!

I agree.......hard not to keep watching.
I am also looking forward to next year...........Sharkin Sonny, Firedawg & myself are going to have to give the Hammer Tourney a try.
Damn guys. I been home for three days and I'm ready to head back. I gotta find a coastal town in Florida with enough broken garage doors to keep me in business.
Congratulations to everyone. Erin, that Grouper was sick! That's on my bucket list. I want to touch one of those one day. Think how old and the history that thing has lived through.
Here is another 8-9ft hammerhead shark caught from the pier for Lake Worth Sharkers TM!



The 7-8ft hammer that got away...

...and the 7-8ft nurse that didn't got away - even though went straight underneath the pier.



I'm sure tomorrow will gonna be some other reports, since we'll gonna to this again ![]()

Team Stellarol reporting in, been fishing everynight except one and have managed a few bites and thats it. Three sharks landed that qualify but blunders with pictures (rookie year mistakes) have left us officially with nothing. Taking two nights off then finishing friday off where I believe Will and his team went. Maybe see you there ![]()
Had an absolute monster last night!! hit the bait on the way in. I was packing up and reeling in the last rod and about 50yrds from the beach it just bent over and screamed. Went down to just less than a half spool. Fought back and forth for a while. It was a long battle. When he got to the wash and threw that absolutely massive tail up. We were all in aww. Not but a moment later it went slack. He swam off just as tired as I was. my heart broke. When we examined what gave, we saw that he apparently wound up in the leader and about 40' of my main line. and even past my 20' of steel about halfway up my 10 400lb was fray popped ... that was the one! I have been beat but not defeated. WATCH OUT!! I only learn from my heartache... TIGHT LINES GUYS

the fight is on


the team and I
