Madness.

Today has got to be the most unforgettable day in my fishing life yet.

At about 5pm, i jigged for awhile and something started taking my 50lbs braid like nobody's business. After a good 30mins fight without gimbles or harness, my arms were aching like crazy. We finally got to see what in the world was that, a over 2 meters long bronze whaler shark! The shark was more then half the boat size that i was in! Estimated at 120LBS, i thought of bringing it in as i've never tasted shark meat before. Everytime it got close enough for a gaff shot, it will take a deep long dive and i have to begin the long tiring retrieve all over again. When it finally tire out, we got him right at the boatside but nobody could've imagined the last burst of energy he gave which he flipped over and bite off my leader.

And earlier in the afternoon, we had 2 unstoppable trains that broke off my mainline 60lbs and 70lbs braid in a matter of seconds. One broke at the bimini, another just broke off clean off the mainline.

As a result, i've lost a few jigs and no fishes to take pictures with. :(
