A Toothy character Arrives On The Scene

Just a small flesh wound!

One of four times that we fed this shark

Late in the afternoon a couple of hungry sharks showed up to give us more excitement than be bargained for, as we reeled in our catch, several times we only wound up with just the head attached. On two occasions, however, John and I both hooked up with a shark and fought them for several minutes each, if we were prepared for this, I would have put one of the fish on a hook with wire leader and we would have been able to fight the shark to the boat. Alas, 20#  leader does not fare well in the mouth of a four foot shark.
