Bob and Scott Shark Fishing off the coast of South Florida

Shark Fishing off the coast of South Florida
Today Scott and Bob from Minnesota out for a few hours deep-sea fishing aboard the Hooked up.
We started out trolling the reef with 2-planner boards running about 45 feet deep and 3 baits skipping across the surface.
We ended up catching 4 kingfish and one mackerel.
Ok so now that we had the skunk out of the box it was time to try for a sea monster so in came the trolling gear and out went the shark baits.
The trap was set and from here it did not take long till BAM our deep rod bent over and we were Hooked Up.
Scott jumped in the chair and the fight was on. I don't think Bob and Scott knew what they were in for?
At first all Scott could do was to hang on to the rod while this sea monster just took line off the reel and took line and yep took more line.
Finally the fish slowed down and Scott started to gain a little line but wait again line started peeling off the reel. That's how this fight began gain a little and then took a little back and forth tug a war. After a good 15 min f this Scott needed a hand so Bob jumped in the chair and he started this back and forth tug a war.
Finally we got this big hammerhead shark near the boat but wait again off he went taking again another 50 yards.
Man what a fight but at last we got this 7-foot plus hammerhead shark to the boat.
We did manage to get 2 out of the 3 hooks out and released this tired but still in great shape shark free to fight again another day.
Bob and Scott thanks again for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up.
As it turned out Shark Fishing off the coast of South Florida was the right choice today.
