Sometimes we hook sharks even if we are fishing for some other fish and it ends up being fun! The guy hang on to this about 20 mins. Video is shorter version and he was able to get the shark up to the surface. It is about a 5-6 foot shark and this is at Gulf of Mexico. It was so powerful that it was taking line even the drag on the Penn reel was at the highest. This is a 50lb test line so you kind of have to be gentle if you want to surface the shark. I say surface because we had no intention of getting him in the boat. Purpose was to get him to the surface as much as possible so we don't cut a 100ft line and trash the ocean. The hook will rust and come off quickly. They are made to do that. It was a great fight but I am sure the guy has a bruise at the rod poking point. These kind of catches are best if you have a belt to sit your rod bottom. All was fun. See it for yourself.
