Congrats to all anglers and their catches thus far! Scheduling to fish the last week of the tournament has me gitty as a school girl seeing all these catches go up when I'm stuck at my desk here in Pennsylvania. Best of luck to all in the remainder of the tournament.
CONGRATS ON ALL THE BRIDGE SHARKS that have been hooked some landed and some not. huge lemon by will and A nice bull by jonathan, a huge hammer by raymundo that got away but I would still consider it as a catch probably. and a huge bull caught by team hot reels, team member Dylan. and congrats on all the other great bridge catches! keep them coming guys!

91 inch (7ft 5inch) Bull i got Saturday night. 76 inches to the fork.
the tape slide up when he moved, it was at 75" but the other pic came out unclear
I never anticipated how hard it is to quickly get shots and measurements that meet the requirements with only 2 people.
We also got a 6"2 bull caught by John Widdman and a 7ft nurse by sean obrien but we will not be entering those sharks.
Jimmy Harris with a 41 inch Jack
Jack ran in on the fighting picture no rod bend
I had marked out with a rock and a blood stain on the jetty for the camera
I forgot to zoom in all the way but there is a red bull can on the side of my back pack.
The Jacks have been feeding on redbull cans on topwater
I was solo it was hard to get these pics.
I've been fishing hard almost everyday but no sharks for me yet...
I been getting huge 40lb + jacks hitting my shark baits.
I've lost 2 monster jacks in the rocks less than 4ft away from me.

The most ever number of Teams (a Record 47 Teams) are competing in this year's Big Hammer Challenge,and already there are big sharks on the board and the Full moon approaches April 25th one day before my birthday and Big Hammers will be cruising the coast w radars on looking for a fresh fish to eat.The west coast Tarpon will be on shortly and the east coast sharkers better step up there game to keep the West Coasters from again RECAPTURING the big Shark trophy from that side of Florida.THe BIGGEST SHARK TROPY has been won by West Coast Teams the last three years so it's time we borrow it for at least one year.The Panhandle waters have already started heating up with Makos around and the very fat pregnant Tiger mamas start hitting the near shore waters to pup so those that know know what to do go what they do .Good luck to all anglers and Please remember SAFETY FIRST.
