I spoke to the King of Clams yesterday AM and he had just hit the dock (figuratively) in Newport

Fishbones is right on - Shack Attack got a bunch of blues, several in the 300# range and one over 400# but none of the species needed to weigh in...no skunk, anyway

They did have one thresher in the chum slick but it came and went

Komes said they got lots of video and stills of the 400# blueshark - when his son edits the footage and gets it up on YouTube I'll post a link

He said the final tally was two 30' sportfishermen sunk and a lot of damage in an honest 10-14' swell - a pretty expensive outing for some of the entrants...

Looks like there's plans for a First Annual Newport Monster Shark Tournament in mid-August but they're working to find corporate sponsors so it may or may not happen

I already told the Big Bivalve to list me in the crew if the Newport contest goes on - ya gotta have a token Portagoosie on board if you expect to do anything....

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
