Fishing in Florida, A Shark of a Tale

Baby Hammerhead Shark

Your Fishing Tales: A Florida Edition

RiverGal says, "At first the fish were slow on the bait and we had to follow the pods around. My eleven year old sister was getting the most catches, though I did manage to catch two sea trouts. When I had caught the second one, my eldest brother was out on the bow trying to figure out how to release the 11 yr old’s newest catch… a giant sailcat. I had never been fishing before prior to this trip so I stood there for a few minutes, holding the sea trout close to the boat when suddenly the line jerks and the darn fish is jumping out of the water.

I peered over the edge of the boat and out jumped the fish again. To my surprise a shark was chasing after my catch! In a river no less! So I yelled up front to my brother and he didn’t believe me. Now I might not know my fish, but I know a shark when I see one especially a hammerhead shark! I yanked the sea trout out of the water and not too long after that the sailcat was released and then the sea trout was flung out away from the boat in hopes the shark didn’t get to it. "
