                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[After loosing a monster on my 16 0, I was mad and being a jerk.
I told everyone: &quot;I'm done taking out baits, that's it I'm done with the BHC!!! I can't catch anything but Nurse Sharks or get cut off!!!&quot;
Then my wife asks me about 20 min later, after I cooled down a bit &quot;Hey, Lets just cast two more baits off the jetty and try to catch a Blacktip.&quot;
I said ok fine lets go, we'll cut this bonito in two chunks and cast them out on the spinner and 4 0.
The baits had only been out about 20-30min and the clicker on the 4 0 starts rolling slow...
We were using 18 0 Mustad Circle hooks with #19 wire and a tail leader of 600 mono.
She flips the drag and this Shark started to burn my 4 0 like it wasn't even hooked.
I was down to under 1/2 spool before we even got close to the beach.
We lucked out big time this shark swam due south right along the 2nd sand bar about 75 yards off the beach for over 1 mile.
after 30 min she had almost half a spool and then the shark had its second wind and almost dumped us.
She had a little under 100 yards at one point during the fight.
Then we saw the shark turn on its side, tired from over an hour of fighting.
We had 3 guys help us tail rope the shark get the overall length &amp; tail shot and revive the pregnant female in the water to the point where she swam off strong.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<b><span style="color:#000040">Found this video of a giant bull shark being hauled out of the water on an Indian river shore.This may be the largest bull shark on video anywhere.It takes 12 men to lift this huge shark which seems to be pregnant and probably close to 11 feet if not  slightly larger.It's weight has to be nearing 800 pounds.Many times bull sharks have been said to reach 1300 pounds but there is little photographic or video evidence to substantiate  those max size claims.Here we see a specimen that is truly at the higher end  of Bull shark maximum size limits.There is overwhelming evidence that the largest of bull sharks are found in rivers such as the Breede River South Africa which is where Jeremy Wade 'River Monsters' catches a few nearing 10 feet and where the Hennie Hassenfus 13 footer was caught and tagged. </span></b>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[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  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /> .   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 &quot;kid&quot; 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.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Cmoney7 said, &quot;I have a special delivery bait.&quot;  And we did what any energetic sharker would do.  We put the massive bait on the big rod with big reel and put it out deep.  
<img class="go2wpf-bbcode" src="http://i478&#046;photobucket&#046;com/albums/rr148/rehabsolutionsllc/8ft%208%20inch%20bull/DSC_0053&#046;jpg" alt="">
The the reel went off at a steady pace.  I took my time and got set up with gloves, lights, etc..... so I would be forced to give the girl some time to eat.  I picked up the rod and gave it more time.  Line was going off the reel at a quicker and quicker pace.  I hit it....hard....I ran 5 yards and I could not move.  Cmoney7 started pushing me from behind to set the hook even deeper.

What you have to understand is most of the guys left the beach to go for a burger run.  We were starving.  Team gets back with burgers and beverages and the action started.  The hook was set, harness was on and I was hungry.  I grabbed my burger and drink and fought the bull to the end.

Landed an 8ft 8 inch female bull.  What a great night!!! Check out the video below to see the &quot;special bait&quot; and action.
