Hey guys John Hebisen here with SharkOutlet,

I want to congratulate all the winners of the BHC. There was some awesome fish caught.
From the First ever Mako to tigers to 12ft hammer !!! Man and even some fat fat bulls !!
I wish I could be there at the awards ceremony, but living in TX it's hard.
I wish all y'all a good time, and good luck and many more catches this year. If this is any sign of what is to come this year, THERE WILL BE SOME BIG BOYS LANDED !!

I want to personally thank Will for putting this on with all that has gone on, I'm sure it is not easy.
I want to thank you for letting me be apart of the BHC as well.

Once again congrats to all ....

Congrats to all the teams on another great tournament, but as equally important congrats and thanks to William for putting up with everything he has to to pull this thing off. I don't envy you, man, but thanks!

Way to go Will on organizing a great tournament despite having difficult challenges to overcome! You are a man truly in love with the sport of land-based shark fishing!

Congrats to Nino, Rico, and Austin!
You do the memories of your Dad and Popaw proud! I know that you would never dishonor that by knowingly doing something to cheat your fellow fishermen. Those who make unfounded allegations are probably envious of your success without being willing to make the sacrifice and do the work to achieve it!
Your Mother can verify to any who question your dedication and hard-work to and for this tournament and sport!
Thanx for making your family PROUD!!!!
Love,
Uncle Tim

Thanks Mark!!! : 7foot 3inch male bull shark caught on 80lb test.

fightinglady08 did a completely IGFA legal fight. Grabbed the rod, put it on her shoulder and did the runningwoman down the street and upon sticking the shark it ran 60 yards before she could sit down. She horsed she shark off the bottom when it got stuck and maneuvered back and forth over the other rods three times to finally beach the shark after a bulldogged 45 minute battle.

Yes it sure was a bulldogged 45 min battle I was wooped but it was all so worth it as it was my very 1st Bull and there will be more to come!! He!He!

Guys just a reminder make sure your cutting off secondary hooks to keep from getting hurt

if obiding by florida fwc rules and laws you souldent have a second hook when using natural baits. if you do then your fish isent leagly aloud to be enterd in the tourny
