Capt'n Shane · 04-09-2007, 11:54 AM

Just got a call from swordhunter. His clients have just boated a 300#'er in the daytime while shark fishing. WOW!!!!!!!!!! I think he said it measures a whopping 89". I hope someone can run up to haulover marina and get some pictures and post them. Congrats Captain Hunter and the "Therapy".

If I'm not mistaken that fish you're referring to was caught in Florida Bay in the Keys. They surmised it came through one of the deeper channels.

No matter, the fish taken the other day while Shark fishing is an awesome deal. We would love to see a pic of it!
