Went out last night to try out my 9/0. Ended up getting 2. A Sandbar and a Blacktip. Both measured in at 6'4". It was a grey night.
Can someone post the pics for me. I can't do it from my phone.
Good job! Are you in Florida?
Yes i am. I live in Milton and regularly fish from Okaloosa Island over to Pensacola Beach.
Nice! I will pm you my number text them to me and I will upload them

Two very nice sharks!
Nice Catch
Thanks for posting my pics Bunnlevel. And thank you Jewell. It was a blast. Especially the Blacktip. The first 5 minutes of the fight he rode the top of the water busting it all over the place. Then while taping him my friend Matt got slapped upside the head. Had him dazed for about 5-10 minutes.
Nice Sharks!
Good Job Chris!
i'd love to go "sharking" one day. thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys. Shark hunter next time you head down this way let me know. Would love to meet up and do some sharking with you.
I go right through Milton on my way to the Coast. Next May.
Very nice catch.
way to go,they are tough.
cheers
Nice fish ;D!
Congrats on the nice toothies !!
How'd I miss this thread? ???
Nice sharks ya caught there.
The BTs and Spinners can definitely put on a show, I love it when they go airborne.
Back in SoCal we'd get the Makos and the flips they'd do were fantastic.
Which one is better eating, can you tell a difference?
I'm pretty sure there is a slot limit Eric. The rules are so hard to understand. I look at it like this. If one accidentally dies, he is in the slot limit! ;) Shark Steaks and bait!
Bts are netter eating, there is several differences etween the two. In NC, if its over 54" it keeps
BTs are great table fare especially if they are less than 4'. There is no size limit on them and like 4 or 5 other sharks here in Florida but for all the rest there a size limit of at least 56". Then if your out in fed waters here you have to have a HMS Permit to keep any shark.
Are you sure about those Blacktips Chris? Mainly in Pensacola.
If there is no limit on size what you can keep, I will be keeping at least one to eat. ;)
Chris is right. No size limit on Black Tips. There is a size limit on spinner sharks which are often confused. Here's a link. http://www.eregulations.com/florida/fishing/saltwater/saltwater-fishing-regulations/ Bob
I should have thrown this little guy on the grill! He was so pissed, this is the only second he was still.
