(VIDEO) 8ft hammer...quick release

Nathan (moganman on here) hooks up to an 8ft hammer. After multiple attempts to get the tail rope on him he pops the line. Video never shows the shark very well due to poor lighting. There's some language so beware, we were excited. If I left anything major out Nathan should fill in the gabs. Did manage one ladyfish for the next trip

( you can see the sharks dorsal at 4:09 but other than that you barley ever see any of it, my buddy is bad with a camera. oh and theres a lot of language)

he didn't get tail wipped. that was the line hitting him in the face when it broke!!

and sting ray wing and idk how far out it was. we just yak until we think its good since we were running baits after dark. Nathan should have a better idea but maybe 250. im not sure though.

Caught it on a whole wing from a ray I caught on sunday at NAS. Was between 200-300 yards out, wasn't paying too much attention. Fought him for 30 something minutes, was the most fun I have ever had fishing! Didn't get any decent pics but I got a pretty cool cut from when the mono snapped, nearly got my eye!

30 mins? Figured it would have been over an hour battle. Could you tell if it was a scolloped or greater!
I couldn't tell which type and I was trying to tail rope it. he picked up the bait, ran for a couple minutes, and then came towards the beach, made a couple good runs, Nathan fought him back each time, and then he was up.

my buddy is trying to put the video from his phone on youtube and then im going to put the link on here for you guys.
