Shark post storm

Decided to take Kate out for a chance at a big surf fish. Got down a couple hours before the high tide and sent out a mac head and tail section on another rod.  Very little weed action but there were clumps floating around  .            Tail got chewed up so re baited with bonito chunk.    Right at sundown we saw the mac head rod line drop down limp. Ran over and picked it up, line went tight.  I set the hook and handed it off to Kate .  she had a hard time keeping the line tight with the 11' rod, 4/0 senator and shark repeatedly running to the beach. Luckily the hook was set good in the corner of the mouth. I grabbed the the tail in the skinny and it was all over.   . She is stoked! Even though she fell in the wash trying to run backwards to avoid getting b her uggs wet. 😁was pretty hilarious to see . She can't wait to catch a big bat ray ! Bonus pic of me holding the kitty.

The smiles are just as great as the fish!  Right on boss!  I can't wait to read the report about her fighting a big bat ray when she catches one!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
