This weekend was awesome!…me and a couple buddies went out friday night to the south Skyway fishing pier to do some shark fishing, we get there a couple hours before dark and catch some mackerel and ladyfish. we balloon out the both mackerel and a lady…an hour later we had the 4/0 ripping, Chris runs over and sets the hook as he does the line goes limp. He reels down to feel no weight what so ever. As he gets to the end of his line we see that the shark bit throught the 125lb cable like it was mono.

 We keep our heads up and balloon a mackerel out on the 9/0…30 minutes later the rod starts screaming then we get an aerial display, about 120lb blacktip…Chris starts to get the gaff ready, then the shark jumps and shakes the hook loose. Well it was  great night but we did not go home with one this time.
