Good job CTT, thats our buddies.
Now I miss Tin Man, especially now that we will have something more in common in a couple of weeks :-/

[charlie_the_tuna]

you thinkin of disappearing off the face of the earth too ?

[willy]

You would have made a good cop CTT. I used to be that direct. But now I'm retired and decided to be nice once in awhile ;D

[charlie_the_tuna]

ya got me all wrong willy.
dont mean it in a bad way. . . . just that he up n went and i figure you must have something in mind.

by the way, i went through the academy (nypd) and decided it just wasnt for me.
its not for everybody.
lot more solitude where i am.

[willy]

You did the right thing then for you bud, sometimes you have to be tough to follow a diffrent path.
And no offense taken or meant, it's all good ;)

Good postin' CTT!!... ;D ;D ... now which one on cover is Tin Man??...my guess, standin' in middle w/red plaid...

[willy]

Tin is in the catchers squat on the deck and I believe that is the Phes standing on left holding shark head also

[charlie_the_tuna]

yup, tin is the one on the bottom.

phester is the one in red.

[Blue_Runner]

Hey that is great - way to go CTT.

Killer picture for sure. I bet that was exciting as hell to catch that beast.

[macojoe]

I love shark fishing! I haven't been in years!!

Great pictures guys!!

[phester]

hey CCT, good job! Thanks ! Yes that is yours truly in the red plaid and TheTinMan in the squat. Capt. Kevin [aka "mundus"] has the shark by the snout. The other two guys are Kevin's brothers in law. That fish is 446 lbs, he jumped 6 times, and by the time we had him roped off it was about an hour and twenty mins. fight. [mostly Tin and myself]. The big portly guy up front on the right was green and puking shortly after leaving the inlet. He didn't have much to offer in fighting the fish, the other guy was excellent in maintaining the chum slick and handling the baits, but for some reason wanted little to do w/ actually getting the fish to the boat[???]Nice guys though.Kevin has got a real nice 38ft. Topaz, the conditions were perfect 2-4 ft., wind about 10-15 mph, 60*air, water temp about 56*...it all just came together. We were getting heckled as we were leaving the dock, while the entire "armada" stayed inshore for bass and blues, we got these beauties only 20 miles out. We took alot of surf fishing tackle and assorted weights out of its stomach along w/ a 5"white and blue bottleneck popper. I found that pretty interesting.....have to think about that next time I'm "skishing" Thanks again CCT ;D
