great white Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks Tony I was trying to add those pictures for you, but the email sent is so big it stalls my system at home and I could not even reply. Was the Fish hooked in the Tail or is that a crazy Fred landing system? I have fin hooked a few tope in the past and they are hard to fight that way, I imagine a big shark would be far far worse. Good capture though Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
