Nice! Sharking is fun but I haven't done it in 20 years. My best is a 110# Mako but we also got a 250#Tiger that trip. I want to try it on my V20. There were big Threshers inshore of 3 miles this past June on the bunker schools. Guys trolling wire line and spoons for Stripers were hooking up and getting spooled. I got me a premade shark rig for my tackle bag for "oppurtunity" fishing.

Next year if i fish the shark tourney in my V20, i think i will have some work to do to the boat. The swim platform will definitely have to come off, so i can bring sharks around the boat if need be. Doel-fins will stay off the motor, just something else to snag a line on. Then i have to figure out how to get around the splashwell and motor if i have to.
I have lost a few cobia in that position. But then agian if somebody can run the boat, we can keep the shark on one side, and not have to play ring around the V20.Also i plan to have a hard top with lifting eyes by next year. It was nice being able to winch that monster in using come alongs and not having to lift it manually. (Captain Jims boat had a solid transom and no door) These are Pictures of Captain Jims boat.

just make sure it is dead before you bring it onboard, dont let them fool you and "wake up" when your not expecting it. your fishing partner might bail out of the boat on ya while cruising back to the dock.

Here are pics of the winning shark. I wasn't too impressed with these Tiger Sharks. Once they get on land they turn into spaghetti with a head and teeth.

Thank you Lumber, I left a few of the bloody, gory pics out just for you. Everybody on the boat was wanting to wash him up, but we decided not to, all the blood was just extra weight...... Then the dock crew washed him off before hanging him in front of the crowd.
