Team "Dirty South Shark Hunters"

note to everyone all of my fighting pictures are taken when i have the shark near shore,in this spot i only have an 10 ft window to bull the shark in before i get screwed by the mangroves.

NOTE: I NOTICED THIS SPOT HAS 90% LEMON SHARKS AND THEY RANGE FROM 6 TO 7 1/2 FT , IF ANYONE THINKS THAT ANY OF THESE SHARKS ARE "DEAD" PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO MAKE A SHORT VIDEO OF ALL THE SHARKS SHOWING THAT THE SHARKS WERE ALIVE AND SWIMIMG OFF.

LAST NOTE : I WANNA CONGRATULATE EVERYONE WHO FISHED THE TOURNAMENT AND THE WINNERS, 2 YEARS AGO WE CAME IN FIRST WITH MOST SHARKS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD 2 LESS GUYS FISHING THIS YEAR WITH US. THIS WAS OUR LAST FISHING TRIP FOR THIS TOURNAMENT AND COULDENT GET ENOUGHT TO PASS HAMMER WRANGLERS. CONGRATS GUYS

We did it GiGi
This night felt different my buddy came in from dropping baits and said that felt erie. Theres a something big out there i feel it after a while a couple came up and started talking to us after bout hour they where walking off and the Avet 80 goes screaming ,i set hook, FISH ON!!
Fought for while after pulling line it went slack falling back i reeled tight and got yanked forward , still fighting got her turned after bout a hour and 45mins. We beached her all team mates were not present so we got all pics and measurements quickly. We walk her back in and with a slap on the tail she swam off..i was shaking from this man vs beast fight and my biggest shark by far we are all out here for this feeling and beaching a monster fish like this one .Good luck to all fellow teams that competed in the Big Hammer Challenge.
So Monday afternoon my amazing grandmother aka GiGi passed away. Friday night i went fishing and while putting the baits out i said a little prayer to her for something 12 foot or bigger. Of course once again she went above and beyond and put a 13 foot 1 1/2 inch hammer on my line. Happy mothers day GiGi and to my mom and all the moms in my life.
