                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Just got word from Mike Palmer that Captain Frank Mundus the world renowned pioneer shark fisherman has passed away in Hawai.The world has lost  the premier authority in our sport and we will truly miss him.His last project was filming shark fishing adventures on his boat the cricket 2 .The project was being filmed by the Paxton brothers for an upcoming tv reality show.Frank Mundus was truly a pioneer in shark fishing having  developed so many new techniques from the use of the shark cage to film underwater footage of sharks to the use of kegs and harpoon to kill giant great white sharks.An author of shark fishing books and a man with a great sense of humor those that met him were impressed by this mild mannered down to earth man.I personally got to speak to him while in the company of Sean Paxton last year while fishing in the Big Bite shark tournament at Boca Grande.We will miss Frank but never forget him.Here's the story in newsday.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Where do you like to fish for sharks?Do you favor a beach,or pier or maybe even a bridge or jetty?Some people will favor a secluded beach while others prefer to fish with a group of friends on a pier.For me the perfect place was always the Bahia Honda bridge in the Florida keys.It was the most peaceful place to fish and relax;It was like fishing on the top of the world since the bridge was about 70 to 80 feet high and far away from the new bridge there was no noise from the traffic. I remember one February 1984 it was right before sundown there was a cool breeze blowing,my sleeping bag and girlfriend were warm inside my tent,the big guns were set out with fresh bait,my buddy was grilling steaks on the coleman stove and i was full of hope for a huge shark that night.That place had more big sharks then anywhere else in the Keys probably because of the amount of tarpon that gather in it's deep channel.I was awestruck the first time i fished it and it always held a special place in my heart.Where do you prefer to fish?

                    
                        Biggest sharks caught on Bahia Honda bridge  
(1) 485 lb Tiger shark (2) 480 lb bull shark (3) 460 lb bull shark (4) 442 lb bull shark(5)372 lb hammerhead shark.
That's just a short list of the biggest that were caught by shark club members throughout the years.Many more huge sharks were lost after stripping 14/0s and 16/0s clean down to the knot.

Besides  sharks we caught plenty of big muttons from Bahia Honda bridge.

The rails were falling apart and in many places missing completely but we did'nt mind.

Huge bull sharks were always available to test your skills.Notice the size of our bridge gaffs.
