Surprise guest

We went out on Sunday again for tuna and had a surprise guest. We had an extra guy on board to help us out and we needed him. The weather was not what we expected, with soaking rain and 2-4'waves.
We tried something new for me, using live pogies. Watching the balloons dancing around was interesting and before we knew it we were tight!! It made a run for the boat twice, once it saw the boat it started dumping the Penn 80. I was impressed with the power of this fish! Once it settled down, Todd and Jason moved the rod to Battle Stations on the bow. It didn't take Jason long to get color, at first he said it was big!!! Then he turned and said it was a blue shark. It was approx 10' long est. 400lbs.

I can understand now why people target sharks, pure power!

Sorry no pics or video....
