New Respect for Sharks

January 11th, 2010 | by geo |

I caught this 6 foot black tip shark off of Casey Key, FL on new years eve. I say “caught” but the real truth is I just reeled it in. Our friend Greg did the baiting and paddled out into the dark water on a surf board to drop it into the freezing water so I could have this experience..thanks Greg.

Having never ever hooked into a shark (or any fish that comes close to it) it was the most amazing fishing experience I have ever had.

I was 100% physically exhausted after reeling it in. But, after I caught my breath I was able to soak it up. It was absolutely awesome.

We released the shark after the photo shoot.
