Dude that is cool. Do you have any more about it like how long was the fight and what kind of rig was he caught on?

| I have waited to see if there was going to be any bad news, like last time i caught a good fish. Looks like no bad news. I Earnie Polk is team leader of the guys who caught this mako. Sean watson has fished with me for 20 years off/on. we were fishing the old way that people like Roddie Pate started half a century ago. I have fished steady for 22 years. We have 3 16/0 1 14/0 with 130 dac. we run the baits out with a kyak, we use no chumming tecniques.4 baits 4 reels sometimes bobo's aj heads and everything else we catch off of the rubber boat. we fish hard long and very often. we have caught over 20 sharks over6.5ft this year.Catching this mako was no mistake but it was alot of luck.I got a good video of the whole thing. the mako was 9ft2in at the fork. charts from the shark tagger program said between 450 and500 lbs the news paper pic did no justice ,the fish had dug a hole and was laying in it.4men could not pull him up the hill. The fish fought hard to get back in the water. It is truley a shame that the shark fishermen in this area does not have a pier to fish on. maybe out law chumming ,or putting large fish drawing structures on poppular swimming beaches such as pcola pier. you want fish just add structure. Bullsharks are locals that come back every year. remove them or letem eat?

Wow, Ernie Polk... You probably don't remember, but I was there on the Navarre pier when you caught that 70+ pound cobia from your rubber boat and had to come up to the pier to weigh it. I helped you carry that big girl up the steps at the pier. I've fished with Roddy and the other original shark fishers for years and heard some stories about you. Glad to see you on the forum. Great to have you here! Look forward to more reports

| Congrats to Sean, Ernie, and the crew. I've been shark fishing off Navarre and P'cola since the early 80's and more often than not if a good fish is caught Ernie is involved in some way. He fishes hard and often and knows his stuff. Sean brought the jaws by the other day and the pics don't do the fish justice. Ernie mentioned Roddy's name. Back when Lauderdale ran the pier at Navarre, Roddy, Kevin Glover,some of the Wells from Holley,and a few others used to catch alot of fish. I remember climbing over the shack at the end of the pier to fish at night after they started locking it up. We spilled 2 5gal. buckets of chum under the door of the shack one night and had no way to clean it up. I thought Al was going to kill us the next day. Those were the good times. For those of you who have never seen the pics or heard the story, Roddy Pate caught a huge Hammerhead several years ago. I don't really think the word huge does it justice. If any of the old timers on here have any pics or remember the story maybe they will share.

That is a catch of a lifetime off the beach! I'm glad nobody has ruined this thread with some apex predator stuff.

Man that's nothin! There's a 28 foot mako that cruises the beach regularly, must be about 9000 pounds! No one can catch it though! Thats funny right there. Welcome to the new guy posting his pics, but hit enter after posting a picture, and they will come down in a row!
