Should've put a hook in it and thrown it back out there.

The only time I've had that happen to me is from a boat. That would scare the crap out of me if I was standing waist deep.

See? Boat fishing IS easier.

C'mon George. Who are you to be recommending bait to anyone? I would have thrown a conrad knockoff myself.

That's pretty cool, and also would probably make me $#!& my waders. On the same note, I just got back from watching the great white that washed up on Nantucket get dissected.

Now, now, my simple child, do not be troubled. Just as other clergy, we, the High Priests of Fishing Arts, must also prostrate our holiness amoungst the profane. Yes, catching the Devil's fish with the Devil's food is wrong, but rest assured I would gather no pleasure from such beastly pastimes. Rather, I would submit to it only to better understand those poor tormented souls who stand alone in the darkness fondling impaled serpents. How else can I help them and turn them from their deviance back to the Holy Path of St. Pinchney before they and their cellphones are doomed? Besides, I have it on Flap's good authority that fishing bait for sharks is far superior to bunging prepubescent altar boys which, frankly, seems to have become more trouble than it is worth for us holier than thou types. Now go away and step on a LEGO.

T+C is a blast. some of the best snorkeling in the world, and you can reach the coral reefs simply by wading out from shore as the reef circles the islands. oh and btw, plenty of sharks there. we went out on a boat one day for some snorkeling and as soon as we got in the water someone saw what they estimated to be a 12-14ft hammerhead...

Tony,
Good to see youse are up and about your old tricks. Its
been awhile since we saw your beatific face on this site
and some were wondering if the world was coming to an
end. BTW, nice fish head what happened to the rest of it--
some shark bit it off. Oh yeah I forgot.

That is exactly what he did George, it was picked up in a matter of seconds. The splash harmonics drew the shark right back in for more fun as I positioned myself on some rocks with camera for a National Geographic moment. Tony kept lobbing out the head with his hand and had fun with the critter. Keep in mind the hook was buried in the head so a hookset was out of the question. I will say this much; the shark followed the blood trail right to Tony's vacated footprints. Needlees to say it was a knee deep night henceforth.Cool and unnerving all at once.
