j_errazo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hey guys, Im new to this but a great website to read while on a lunch break. Anyway I was at Windang about a week or 2 back and caught my first PB on a lure. The pics will basically show it all, but from the 12th cast on my raider lure I felt a weird bite on the braid, felt like a snag and then chik chik booom, it fought like a housewife at a end of year sale at myers. It fought for about 5min then it just drag. Couldnt figure out what it was (could've been a snorkler at this point) but after getting the first site. It was a shark, thought it was a reefy but all of a sudden it did its death roll and saw spots and stripes....SH!T its a Tiger, on a lure, at Windang, where I swim were the words going through my head and also how the hell im gonna get my lucky lure back. I then drag it to the beach and pulled it out of the water, by this stage I left a burley trail in my board shorts coz it scared the hell out of me. ANyway got it to the beach, some random fisherman gave me his knife and I had to cut the line coz there is NO way im gonna stick my hand in there but that random fiherman told me to stab it in the head...yeh right....so I drag it back to the water and revive it til it kicked off to the deep blue. Hopefully Mr. Tiger wont remember me the next time I go surfing. Anyway long story hope you enjoy Edited by Swordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuna1 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Good one for letting the shark go hope it grows up big and culls some of those seals around port kembla they can be a real nuisance when fishing. Edited by Swordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 For re-sizing pic look HERE! Please be careful with posts about illegal fishing as it is against site rules to post on illegal fishing activities. If you see people breaking the law then contact the local fisheries officers in that area. I have my local officers mobile number in my mobile phone. Cheers, Grant.

taloyoak Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 As soon as I read the topic I was ready for some not so nice words, as I personally, and honestly do not understand why anyone would kill or destroy any creature for no real reason. Sharks are splendid creatures, true kings of their world, and it is good people like yourself who go against the grain. THANK YOU! for returning it to the water. The best catches and memories are of the big guys we catch and then graciously release, to be there for your grandkids to catch. Unless you are going to eat it, or need to feed the family, then send them back.Nuff said. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've caught small hammerheads and they are terrific to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
