Hit our usual spot mid-day yesterday with a few shark rods, a large bait net and an appetite for some more small Bull Sharks.
Quickly caught a few mullet in the 8" range and hooked them live and yaked them out about 200 yards off the beach. The first run was pretty solid but no hookup. About 20 minutes later we got another run and got the hookup this time. Danny was on the rod and got this little Bull right up to the shoreline just as the hook pulled. I was in the water getting ready to grab the tail when I heard him yell out the hook pulled. I grabbed him by the tail, (The shark, not Danny.) and managed to throw him on the sand for some quick pictures with the kids. Then a safe and healthy release.
Shortly after that is was time to pack up and get ready for my date with a charcoal grill and some marinated chicken. As I was reeling in my line this Alligator Gar decided he wanted my mullet. Took some quick pics and released it. That was my very first Alligator Gar ever!
