Angel Shark! + 2 PB's and 5 Bats: Epicness in SAMO 5/23

[SurffishingSean]

Oh man what a night... guess i'll just start from the begging but first i'd like to say a Big thanks to Ramon and Brant for really opening world to chase the big critters. 

Started off about 2pm and landed a PB hornshark within 20 minutes. i'd say he was around 30"



Hour later. a nice 46" come up after a 15 minute battle


After this i had one bust me off on the rocks within 45 minutes. and then i got a run on my Light gear 30lb. the hook just fell out of its mouth 3 minute into his run.

Light got picked up, 20 mins later this 40"ish hits the sand. great action on my symetre 4000 lol.



Then mr wiggles came to play! 38" another PB!



And another bat! in the 40"ish range


Then a 49" comes out after another 20 minute battle.


My friend got an epic shot!


Another horn shows up


Angel shark!! Pretty rare ehh?
  :wink:
Got a story with this one. I was reeling up to reel up and i thought i was snagged on a rock cause thats how it felt. I tightened up the drag thumb the spool to play with the pressure before i tried some angles. i start walking back while thumbing the spooll. and it felt like i was seaweed and it came loose. But i was on an Angel Shark! He was Posted on the ground and wouldn't budge at first! thought i was snagged lol! never saw a bite so i was confused. start reelin em up and felt some shakes!. couldn't tell what it was at first. But it was heavy felt atleast 25 lbs.


42"

Mug shot


9th hour for the 9th fish! taped out at 49"


Woww what a day! i'm soar. i'm stoked! normally i would wait till the next day to post up but its 3 am. I've only caught 2 big bats prior to this. and 1 was on the pier and the other was last week off the surf! Long rodding welcomed me warm. lol Thanks for reading my long report guys!

After releasing a small one. i walked out in water to cast. I felt the ray touch my foot! good thing i didn't get stung. it was for sure the one i had just released.

Good post

I'm lookin for my first as well.

They sure do pack on the weight like bats.

I tailed a larger one in that spot for some guy and was surprised how heavy it was.

Those horns are common there as well.

Ya it was really surprisingly heavy! i saw a video and these guys on the pier said the one they caught was 47" 50lbs. so i'm think mine was like 35-40.

Epicness indeed!  Congrats boss on all of those catches, but especially the angel shark. I've caught a monster one in my boat before, but never from the surf. Job well done and congrats on all the PB's!
