ARRghhhhh...
sharking on jeffreys today. whell all last night too.
left the merrimac about 7:00 for some all night sharking but only managed one 60# blue shark all night.
at sun up we took off for the eastern side of jeffreys to try another slick. got 7 blue sharks from 60# up to 300#
i saw the biggest "shark" i've ever seen in my life "alive" besides a basker. HUGE blue shark. i mean a monster !!!
400-500# EASY no chit !! we all saw it.
she came right up into the slick with 2 more about 80# and a 200# we ripped the bait away from the 80 pounder to try to get the big one but the 200 pounder got the mid bait and we had to fight him. we never saw the big one again.
you know those BIG blue sharks over 300# how they look. there all battle scared and maybe a little wiser from there years of travels. nose starts to square off.
8'th and last fish of the day i'm up next for my second shark.
after a long,,,,,,,,,3 hr. lull. we decided to make lunch.
you know what happens when you get all the food out to make lunch.
MAKO!!!!!
not a monster, but the first one we've seen north of the cape.
thats capt. chaos Jon"Riff-Raff" "leakyrivot" on the right. and his brother Jay on the left..
we didn't see one sign of any tuna all day.
no bait, no birds, no whales, no nuthin !!!!!!!!
