Note to Josh jergensen and all fellow anglers whom we fished side by side with, and competed against!!!!!!!

Our two Biggest sharks we will not be submitting for Biggest Shark they were Respectively caught by JD Hammer and JD Fagan. One of them was a Monstrous 9 ft 1 inch bull shark in which JD didnt have enough people around to help him get all the measurements and the right photos. The other shark was an 8ft 8 inch Bull that Hammer caught, and he also didnt have the man power to take all the right measurements and photos due to me 2 miles down the beach getting dragged by two bulls as he attempted to take photos of his shark and release it before it died.

So There you have it!!! We Love the sport, We loved fishing this tournament, and we also are very honest , not moaning and whining about Two of our biggest catches not solidifying us for 1st 2nd and 3rd biggest shark!!!!

Looks like every one is knocking Em dead (so to speak)

Go get Em

Took my 16 year old daughter Natalie fishing with me and met up with team mate Billi Centrone and partnered with Team Lake Worth Sharkers for a few hours on the sand.Billi and I had been completely shoutout fishing old spots that produced during warmer months not wanting to impose on spots already taken,but we finally got on the board while fishing less then a mile from one of this year's "hotspots".Team 'Shark Fever' pulls two tippers out of the hat at the last minute.It was great to spend time with my lovely daughter and with solid friends on the beach,and once again lots of fun to fish Josh Jorgenson's 'Blacktip Challenge',as always a CLASS ACT .
I allowed my daughter to drive us two home fromWest Palm Beach at night as she just got her restriicted licsense, and would'nt you know it on a typical Saturday night we had a drunk driver swerving into oncoming traffic just minutes after we got on the road,,,,,nervous moments in south florida.
Natalie and I as i am hooked up to shark I lost in the surf wash
