Hey guys I fish Anclote Pier quite a bit as its 5 mins from my house. Well last year in October (I believe) I ballooned out a whole mullet butterflied on my 6/0 everol (stacked 80lb braid and mono topshot), and this beast smashed it while still floating out. This is the largest shark I have caught where I have had to cast my pole out . I didnt get any pictures as I was too much in the moment trying to move this shark without a tail rope. Anyways last night I was fishing Anclote pier and a guy crabbing started talking to his buddies about this huge bullshark from late last year and he had some pics on his Iphone. So, i told him I was the "kid" who had caught it and he showed/sent me the pics he had. Sorry they arent great but are some pics of the shark. I couldnt wrap my arms all the way around the shark in front of the dorsal and it took 4 of us to move the shark. Everyone there estimates around 600lbs as it was 9ft 4 inches without stretching the tail out. The guy in the first pic is my buddy Dustin and he is 6 ft 5. Also those are tsunami crimpers around a 10-12 inches long. Will measure them when I get home.
