Big Shark at Sebastian Inlet
Here is the video of the big shark we lost at Sebastian. With all the tarpon in the water, it might have been a hammer. It was running really fast! Also in the video is some Redfish we caught.

This Saturday I also lost what appeared to be a big hammer and so did my friend in the keys... full moon hammers
Just an average fisherman.
That was some rough weather too bad you didn't land that monster and congrats on the redfish
Damn that sux I popped off 3 big sharks there a month ago on the full. Moon floated out everytime and the bait never even made it a 100 yds before it got blasted I some how broke off on all 3 I think it was because all the debree floating out the inlet
Excellent video of the chaos that takes place at Sebastian Inlet ,,,,,,but like i've said in the past "braid has that tendency to !!POP!!"

ya it does i got straight cut on all mono tho i had no braid cuz i didnt have the money to spool my 900h yet but that current adds so many pounds of pressure on the outgoing tide and there are some tru monsters there year round did it pop at the knot or did it pop just randomly thru the braid even with some of the best knots some of these braids are too waxy like and slip

The braid was all brand new and the knot has already gone through the rollers. It popped in a random spot of brand new line that never got wet before. We spooled the reel with gloves and made sure the braid was compact. I have 130lb Diamond Momoi Hollowcore on that reel. I have had that line get caught in the spool before and it didn't break, the hook pulled before the line broke. I wonder if I got a bad batch of line.

Ya had to of been or something cuz that's really weird
i was watching the video a couple times and when it popped the angle of his rod was pointing toward the mouth of the inlet im wondering if those rocks hit that mono real quick and popped it. was it frayed or anything? it probably doesnt matter if it was frayed or not the rocks may have sliced it like butter.

There was no fray.
