Almost Got Spooled. Shark hit like a freight train. surf fishing Padre Island National Seashore.
Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 місяці тому
Had this shark on for 30 minutes. I managed to get him close to shore before the shock leader knot separated at the main line. The knot had a large amount of seaweed stuck on it i wonder if that caused the knot to fail. Comment if anyone has had that experience. The shark was not really that big i believe it was foul hooked that's why it fought so hard. Thanks for watching Louie

    Yep, drone footage is great. Thanks much sir. Really enjoy your videos. I’ve been struggling to catch good size whiting lately. Both at mustang and on PINS. Not sure what’s up because it’s kind of unusual to not at least catch a few decent sized whiting as a fallback species. They are tasty though so not sure why I call them a fallback species. 😂😂

      Haven't caught any Spanish yet maybe in the this fall. On my bucket list is to catch a Jack Cravelle over 40 inches on the fly. I had an opportunity in the spring but did not have the fly rods with me. Now I carry them from the spring until the start of winter so I'll be ready. As far as fly size from size 8 to 1/0 hook size.
