[RIROCKHOUND]

We caught some ugly old blue sharks...

2 to the boat, lost a thirds. Not bad considering the number of dogfish around.. what a PITA

My father released one in the mid-upper 100's and I busted off on one in the 2's that grabbed a live dogfish and then rolled over the line.

The third was largest we have released. 10ft overall, 9ish ft fork got her right alongside, so the length measurement is pretty accurate. and one of the thickest blue sharks I've seen. Also the only blue shark I've ever caught that went up to the surface and almost all the way out of the water TWICE..

depending on what length/weight chart you believe she was solidly into the 300lb range, probably higher. A 9ft fork length can go anywhere from 300-almost 4, and this girl was F-A-T

30lb class gear (no harness, my back was paying for that yesterday). Scrappiest blue I;ve taken. she had some fight in her.
