My First Shark

dolphin850 · 06-27-2008, 11:49 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and a Lady Angler. I have not been out deep sea fishing in over 6 years. My first trip out was during the Queen of Kings Tournament the end of May. I catch my first dolphin, shark and king. The shark was about 8' long and weight about 300 lbs. It put up quite a fight that I was not use to. We did not boat the shark, just got it close enough to take a few pictures and get most of our line back. I did have a little assistance. My stepson had to hand line in while I reeled. Needless to say I was tired out after that fight.:sleeping

Dawna was my fishing partner. She catch about 3 dolphins and serval other fish that day.:clap
