It never comes easy, this is just one of three. I wished I had a few seal bombs

Matt · 02-21-2008, 09:24 PM

sdtangler · 02-21-2008, 09:38 PM

Damn dogs.....

Ouch...

Well, you at least won in the end. Impressive, that must have been one hell of a fight. I hope they didn't steal the other 2.

Alex · 02-21-2008, 09:48 PM

Try letting it run back to the bottom, dogs don't have gills. Sorry about the fish.

THE DARKHORSE · 02-21-2008, 10:46 PM

I know a couple found the gaff in one piece. Where the hell are the pictures of the fish from your trip down south.

Can we get a close up on that tape shot? It's not very clear. lol

I'm looking forward to the full report showing "whole" fish...

Must of been a "small" shark to not be able to finish him off. I was lucky enough to see a full breach in La Jolla of a GWS in September of 01'(full Discovery channel style). It did a full rotation in the air and when it hit the water it looked like a car drove off a bridge. This took place in 110' off the northwest corner. Me and two friends had just put a nice Yellowtail in the skiff and heard an explosion a hundred yards away. There was a foam ball about 30' wide and we were all staring at a whimpering injured seal screaming, swimming around in tight circles for at least a minute, then it happened and kayak-fishing and night lobster diving changed forever. People who are in denial about large GWS in La Jolla year round are kidding themselves. I wish I could go back in time and turn my head so I could join the group of ignorant people.

That one looks like it died from a gunshot to the shoulder, rather than shark attack. Is that pic from mex?

I hope I can remain one of the ignorant. I'd love to see that, Josh, but not at LJ.

cabojohn · 02-22-2008, 04:56 PM

Matt · 02-25-2008, 08:46 AM
