Pacific Tiger Shark. Land Based Pacific Tiger Shark.

Pacific Tiger Shark – Well Spencer did it again.  As of January 1, 2022, all Tiger Shark fishing will be illegal on the islands and Spencer got out there to try and Catch and Release one before this happened.  As you might have expected, mission accomplished.  The man is working hard to get to, and catch, some legendary monsters from Terra Firma!

 

Here’s his story

As we roam this incredible planet in search of the largest #gamefish in the world we sometimes encounter locations that are simply undefinably special, whether due to remoteness, quality of fish, or some other intangible element. One such place is the #hawaiianislands.
Due to new legislation forced through the state senate by misguided sensationalist pseudo-scientists hell bent on acting with emotion despite the #science community’s strong opposition to the bill, shark fishing in Hawai’i will be made illegal as of January 1, 2022. This change forced us to rush into action to capitalize on the amazing fishery before it closed forever!
The final plan involved 11 separate plane tickets to two separate islands, three teams of anglers, 725lbs of luggage, and an immense amount of local/ground support to make possible.
The first leg of our mission took us to the North Western portion of the inhabited Islands in search of #giant sharks and the reward for our efforts was this incredible animal, battle scarred and beautiful! This massive female Tiger Shark / Niuhi (Galeocerdo cuvier) measured to a fork length of 12’4″ and a total length of 13’3″ even missing the bulk of her tail. According to calculations and proportional estimates she would have had a total length of 14’5″ (or more) with her full tail!
This is possibly the largest Tiger Shark ever caught in #landbasedsharkfishing style, and to encounter her in a place as magnificent and challenging as #Hawaii makes it all that much more special. Massive #thankyous to Reel Colors for building my topless Tiagra 130 for this style of expedition, to Sandbar Tackle LLC. for the 24/0 hook that kept her hooked, to Max for leadering this #monsterfish solo, to Apex Onshore Fishing & Tackle for the amazing fighting plate, and to Hifishgear.com for the #flashbomb #hammerbomb that we added to our #floatrigs for this trip!
Mahalo iā ʻoe e Hawaiʻi no nā ʻike maikaʻi ʻole a no ka manō ʻana i kāu mau manō me mākou!

About

Prehistoric Soul took root 550 million years ago when the first organisms in the sea started to predate on others. Over time, the fish populated our waters, both fresh and salt, and there were hunters of these fish that developed a sense and knack for catching them.
