Witnessed part of HydroLogics 16 hr battle with shark.
Fishing South of Port Saint Joe , Fl. weekend before last I run into a 210 in the middle of the ocean. Low and behold it was D. Brackett (HydroLogic). It was a few minutes later they hooked up with a big fish and started the fight. We figured it must be something good since HydroLogic did not have on a wire leader. After about 4.5 hours of checking on them we decided to run to some live bottom. Later I recieved this email.
We fought that rascle from 10:55 am to 3:45 am (~16 hours). It was pulling the boat backward at up to 1 kt for about 5 hours. Figured we couldn't lift it so we let out a lot of line to get a good angle and drug it (as it would let us) to the bar off of Indian Point. Think it was a lemon shark; probably 8-10 feet long. Decided it might not be safe to just gaff it and we didn't have a gun to subdue it so we just cut it off after we got a look at it. Interesting dodging shrimp trawlers at night at idle with a fish on. Attached is the best picture we got from the long fight. It was 3:45 am and only had a Q-Beam. Proves it's not a fish story, however. Good meeting you after all this time. Hope we meet again. We will probably be back down there in February. Thanks for the support  Here is the link to the photo. http://groups.msn.com/LogicTriumphBo...&PhotoID=1 NOTE: The link is no longer good)

Tums.
looks like it might have been some fun to land that baby. was off the NC coast this past week. One of the fellows hooked a 'kite', took him about 30-40 mins to get him to the boat. was a big as the hood on my suburban. saw a few other plastic boats in the Morehead City area while i was there, but did not get the chance to talk with any of them. unkl
