Blue shark wrangling
« on: April 26, 2016, 03:50:21 AM »
Had a blue shark come up to the boat this weekend and scare off most of the fish. She was really interested in the GoPro and a tuna that was hooked. Got her close and ... Well, I'm the one in the long sleeve blue shirt.

Can you guess what happened next?

About 4,900 miles west of SD bay then go south a bit until you meter fish.

I'll get the full video this afternoon

Finally got the video. Nothing bad happened. I just got her tail and after this video cuts out I decided not to get a lap picture and just let her go. Too many people on the boat and the sides were too high to transitioned her over it and onto my lap.
