this week has been filled with adventure,the dolphin are here but smaller,the sailfish are busy at the edge and the kingfish are great.but one story that sticks out is on tuesday.it was 450pm 3 shark rigs out,then the bottom rod goes off,fish on strap the angler to chair and begin what would be a long and hard night,6pm it starts raining no sight of whats on,7pm wind comes up to 15kts no color yet.8pm darkness begins to fall upon us,what is this monster that wont be seen.830pm xavier the angler cant lift rod anymore must put in nicolas(jimmy neutron)9pm jimmy neutrons right arm cramps,well its time for the mate to (adam)to step in,wind now ne at20 to 25kts heavy rain and thunder and lightning,sea to 8ft with a few cresting swells coming into cockpit like a rushing river.10pm xavier back in chair with adam and neutron lifting rod,1030pmOH MY GOD LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT.we see color its big and has a huge pectoral spread and then there it goes again spooling out my 150lbs powerpro line out like a flyrod 100,200 300ftat 600ftof line gone it stops and we start the long journey of bringing it back to boat.12midnight its at the back of the boat.its a 1000lbs+ 15ft tiger who is still not happy.adam grabs the 400lbs leader cuts the lead off comes tight and as he inches the fish closer with me manuevering the boat as to make this monster come to us,the line goes limp and i see this magnificent creature swim back to the depths of the ocean.the fish after 7hrs had eatan thru the #15wire and earned its freedom.first we were sad then appreciative and content that this animal gave us an opportunity to do battle with him.hope to see him again some day.
