The biggest fish ever caught aboard Hooked Up caught by Steve and Wyatt
June 11th, 2012
Today we had a farther and son team Steve and his son Wyatt from Wichita Kansas out for a little deep-sea fishing.
Today we went right to fishing for big sharks or sailfish so out went the kites with 3 live baits suspended from them along with a shark bait also suspended from the kites. We also sent shark bait all the way down 350 feet and a last shark bait half way down.
Ok trap set now we need a fish and man watch out what you ask for because you just might get more then you barge for.
All of a sudden a nice hammerhead shark came in on the shark bait that was suspended from the kite. This shark was all over the place trying to zero in on the sent when all of a sudden another hammerhead and this one could have eaten the first one! O no RUT ROW please hurry and eat the bait before the big one gets it!!
RATS the BIG ONE now we are in for it!!
Wyatt jumped in the chair what for I don't know because all he did was to HANG on as this monster took line off the reel as if there was a fright train on the other end.
Finally the sea monster slowed up and Wyatt gained an inch or 2 than back out the line went. O my God we were not going anywhere for quite some time.
Than Steve jumped in the chair to help out a bit and so it went back and forth gain a bit lose a lot one angler than back to the other.
Ok I could go on and on but about an hour or so later we finally had this 11-foot great gray hammerhead shark next to the boat.
There was no sliding this one in for a measurement we measured this one while he was next to the boat.
At first we figured at least 700 pounds but after further looking at this fish and comparing it to others we have killed and weighed in the past we would have to say this fish weighted some where between 8 to 1000 pound!! NO BS biggest fish ever caught aboard the Hooked Up.
WOW what else can I say? Now that's a nice fish!!!
Steve and Wyatt we will never forget this fishing trip and once again thanks soooo much for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up.

The Family from South Carolina lands big shark aboard Hooked Up
June 10th, 2012
Today we had Scott and Heidi and their son Brandon and daughter Valerie and their grand parents Vicki and Henry from Simpsonville South Carolina out for a few hours of deep sea fishing aboard the Hooked up off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Florida.
We went right to BIG GAME fishing with some live baits on the surface along with some shark baits down deep.
Ok trap was set now all we needed was for some sea monster to come along and take a bite!
And that was just what happened when this big hammerhead shark came along and just like that BAM the fight was on.
25 min later up popped this 91-inch hammerhead shark.
We managed to slide him through the tuna door to get the hooks out and for a couple of quick pictures and than as you can see he swam away in great shape to fight again another day.
To our new friends from South Carolina thanks again for fishing with us aboard the Hooked Up.
