March 16, 2016 Report Unbelievable! (Video)

This morning Tom and his son Matt jumped aboard my skiff since they were down on vacation for spring break from New York. Repeating yesterday's game plan we started off with tarpon fishing and Tom hooked a fish that may have very well been a tarpon but ended up breaking off. After catching a number of different species such as two different species of grouper, several species of Snapper and others we used some of the fish we caught as live bait for spinner sharks again. Today was even better than yesterday and we ended up hooking 7 to 9 sharks landing two and watching a number of them free jump and spin 6 feet in the air. Matt was on the rod when one of our live baits got crushed by a shark in front of us hooking up, peeling off line at a blistering pace then spitting the bait.  Another group of sharks moved in within moments and ate the now half dead bait.   This process repeated itself 4 times until finally a big 200 pound bull shark showed up, gobbled it just 15 feet from us and the race was on.  Fifty minutes later Matt released a huge 200 pound bull shark and got quite a workout. Hooking three or four more sharks including a doubleheader we ended the day with Tom hooking up and after a prolonged fight watching his 5-foot spinner shark get eaten next to the boat by a 300-plus pound bull shark. What an amazing sight and what an amazing day!
