Sharks

[Terry H]

I read the report (which I can't find now...) and saw these pics when they first came up, but felt like I'd post them up.

Christopher Deaver caught this beauty of a tiger, went 10ft fork, 12ft tip, great catch from the Texas boys fishing over in Florida. Good job to his crew and chris

Terry have you ever shown any of your captures on that site?

Good release too

[werewolf]

That is huge! :cheer:

I'm not sure about their release technique though. I wouldn't have thought getting between the shark and open water would be a good idea:blink:

[Terry H]

Yes mack_attack I have.

I have also spoken to Christopher over the phone a couple of times. He's a great guy and IMO well deserving of that catch

Pretty cool Terry.

werewolf, I reckon you'd be safer near a shark in flight mode than a pike eel LOL

CRAZY STUFF!!!!

Only time I can think of them being between shark and open water is when the shark is on the beach, the shark wasn't in a sufficient amoutn of water to really swim anywhere. Once they're releasing it they are behind the tail

[werewolf]

Terry I was referring to them dragging it back in by the tail. I bet it would be too stuff to be able to turn round fast enough to have a go at someone, but people can't move very fast in waist deep water either!

Ellicat - you're not wrong mate. Any eels that we keep for bait get a prompt vist from Mr Tomahawk!

Yeah I thought that was odd hey! I was wondering whether he was watching the shark make its way back out to deeper water? It looked like he was watching something..

If it was some random and just saw a 12 footer landed and release, you would think he would be making a bee-line for the shore! :woohoo:

Guy in the kayak looks like the angler, Chris.

As for dragging it - they weren't really in deep water then, they rolled it once n then dragged it out to deeper water so they could swing it around and push it off into the deep blue
