In all the years that we have been shak fishing from piers,bridges,jetties and beaches we have never seen the amount of Tiger sharks all caught in one night of fishing by Teams in the BHC seperated by no more then a few miles.On the east coast the actual number is 17 caught between 8:30 pm and 6:30am the next morning but another caught on the west coast by Lake Worth Sharkers member Chris Cfronzek puts the total number at 18 in one night.The night of May 4th,2012 will go down in land-based shark fishing history as one to remember.
There is clear evidence to indicate we are fishing harder then ever and so we get to see specific trends in shark migrations at specific times that if it were not for this tournament taking place at this time we may have never seen the amount of Tigers in one general area.Every year is different just look at the number of big bull sharks that were caught in last last years BHC at boca Grande and this year they are totally absent as of yet.This sport is evolving and learning to identify patterns and specific events that trigger sharks to feed is at the jist of becoming a MASTER sharker.We are not scientist but the smarter wiser sharkers learn about seasons,patterns,bait movements and even water tempature is a clear indicator to the trained observant shark fishermen.We are grateful to be able to enjoy such a rich fishery and we respect this great creatures of the oceans and hope they will continue to return to our near shore waters in Florida .These Tiger shark may be migrating from Bahamian waters to reproduce,feed on a specific type of fish or may be a response to changing weather patterns but whatever the reason we are grateful for the chance to catch and study up close these magnificent fish which sometimes reach 15 feet or more.
In years past shark hunting friends would get together for a night of shark fishing on a Friday or Saturday night but now when you have a group of anglers (Team mates) able to fish multiple nights during any given week of the month long BHC tournament the results can be extreme as we have seen in this year's BHC.
There may be patterns that repeat themselves but we have certainly never seen this influx of Tigers on near shore waters in our over 40 year history of sharking Florida beaches.Our dedication to fish continously to compete in the BHC may be uncovering coastal shark migrations that have always existed and were undiscovered and this may be something that occurs natuarally in nature and has never been documented before .As shark fishermen we welcome the oppurtunity to expierience such an event
In our camp we had a mix of Team 'Shark Fever',Team 'BlackFin'and Team 'CatchinJiants' members fishing and we caught 7 Tiger sharks ranging in size from 7 foot to over 9 foot.In the camp next to ours we had members of Team 'Lake Worth Sharkers' who also caught 7 Tigers sharks and further down GRANDMASTER GRANDPA 
SHARKER Jd Hammer(Team Hammer N the Phenoms and his two team mates caught 3 Tiger sharks all in the same size range and also 2 nurse sharks

This was a memorable shark fishing night where all Teams fishing worked well together and made some history.Team Lake Worth Sharkers will post there sharks tommorow.Looking forward to getting my 14/0 tested or maybe trashed again as in the 2011 BHC so we hit the west coast this week sometime looking for that 14 footer to knock the Hammer Wrangler's 13 ft 3 inch behemoth.

heres pics of christina loveless 8'8" male lemon shark. its been one hell of a month for our team more runs than we can count but only 2 brought in couldnt seem to keep them hooked lost 4 monster runs. then we had the shore wash away and bury my international 130 thank god its a beast and weighs over 20lbs it just sank to the bottom and buried in the sand and shell.had a nice big run in the morning after christinas lemon then my line got hung on some marker buoy and blew the low speed gear out on my new reel and he was able to roll and pull the hook.last week we had an issue with our cargo carrier top rail give out and dropped our fishing cart with all reels and gear on the road thank god the only thing happened to the reels was the harness lugs got rashed up and had to replace one on one or our avets.
upon closer look at the pic of the tape it is 8' 7" and 15/16
team Tightlinez finally on the board with something. not a shark, but still a nice sized goliath.
