 its been a wonderfull week here in oil-free panama city. we`ve been catching lots of reds and trout this week , along with some really nice kings and sharks. but when im shark fishing people seem to follow me around , i take that as a compliment , because i must be doing something right . steve brown and i had a great day sharkin , until another captain anchored 50yards down current of my chum line , some folks got no concideration !!!
steve caught a few 20 to 30 pounders , then latched into this 50+ lb blacktip. it was a question for a while , who was gonna win the battle.
oh , my poor reel was a screamin . i know sharks get alot bigger , but thats a darn good fish on 15 lb line . it took him round and round the boat, then peeled about 200 yards of line then round the boat again .
we got him though , and im sure steve enjoyed some fine shark-steaks from him .
we`ve also been catching many fine trout and reds , as well as a few decent flounder .
id like to remind my fellowc anglers to take a kid fishing , yuo wont regret it .
if you know , or just see , someone in the military , take a minute out of your buisy day and tell them -thank you -
and we should all thank the father - that we live in the greatest nation in the world.
thank you , capt. steve
