X-Mas Hammer Legendary story me and Rene de Dios the legend!

It started crhistmas day as an 11 year old still 100 percent sold on the belief of santa,due to efforts of my parents lindy and seaweed miraculously placing all my presents under the tree every xmas in the middle of the night while i was sound asleep. so i awoke to my tree over flowing with presents that included my first bridge rod witch was an 11 foot gator matched with an old flea market 12/0 courtesy of Rene.my parents also got me a 6/0 and 4/0 both out fitted with bridge rods all due to my new found all out passion for bridge fishing over boats(thanks to trips with jd hammer). before that my shark pole was a 6ft boat rod on a 50tw international witch hammer made clear to my old man was a no no for the bridges. so fresh after opening my presents, Rene calls my mom and says linde im taking the kid for the weekend,and of course my cool as hell mom said sure Rene just make him wear his seat belt. so we were off to long key and right away upon unloading i got to my true passion at the time (snapper fishing) and right away i land my bridge record till today a 12,and 6lb mutton. but sure enough Rene started training me saying shannon your bullshiting forget the snappers kid,at start of outgoing tide your first priority has to be putting out your shark rod. sure enogh he gets hit first, catching a 5ft blacktip. back then sad as it sounds, we killed and sold all sharks. so rene gaffs the tipper under the bright full moon xmas night and me and him alone prepare to flip it. however out of nowere appears the biggest shark till this day ive seen in my life. from my eyes no exageration a 17 - 18 foot hammer grabbed the blacktip side ways and began to bash it against the pilling, very simmilar to a killer whale with a seal. i went in to shock and rene starts screaming omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we will kill it with gaff and 14/0 combined!!!!
The hammer continued tearing the tipper up and within seconds snapped our line and huge gaff rope like sewing thread,swimming off with its prized blacktip meal. i will never forget thhis till i die and even though sounding like a fish story,i can promise that beast was 16 plus feet all the way out the water under a bright full moom xmas night.
