Trip Summary

Wow so we had Steve and his girlfriend Melissa on board the Hooked Up for just a relaxing 4 hour fishing trip. So we started out trolling and catching Bonitas and a couple black fin tuna and all was going great. But than we decided to switch up and do some shark fishing along with a couple baits suspenseful from our kites just in case any sailfish or Mahia showed up. Well it was our deep line with a shark bait that got bite. And line was peeling off like a freight train was on the other end pulling ! Line off the rail. After a 15 minute back-and-forth tug-of-war a pop this monster Tigershark. We took a few pictures and cut the leader as close as we could to the fish and release him to fight another day. Wait do you ask? You be the judge I figured 600. Ironically enough this is the third one caught this week off the coast of Fort Lauderdale my son a boy that hooked up to court one as well and another one of the local captainsAlso caught one. Crazy I’ve never seen this many tiger sharks off the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Captain Taco hooked up sportfishing
