Hey all,
decided to go fishin in the mornin. Did my normal dropshot thang for a multiple bites but only a couple hookups. So I make the first cast, sure, no big deal. Water looks good, has that blue color, mild surf. kinda warm between my toes, feels sixty-something. not sure, oh well. keep fishin. I feel that tap on my bait, wind steady...SWING and shes hooked. short, but its a butt nonetheless.

ok so keep fishin, walk down the beach. not bad, few bites here and there but nothing to stick. theres a nice trough over there, beside a riptide, lets give it a go. I cast into the trough, wind wind, TAP, oohhhh i think its a bite! wind steady, SWING! mm its got some weight to it, not quite legal, but still not bad.

Well well, few more casts, i get this weird bite, not a hali, not a bass. Tap and run, hmmm, feels like a ray but lets see. it pulls drag, lots of it. takes me a little to get it in.
help me identify? not sure what kind of shark it is

anyway, I hooked 2 more of something that bit similar to this. second one, I never got to see. it ran out about 150 yards and fast, pulling drag all the way up until it unbuttoned. o well, wonder what it could have been.
third one, i hooked, it was another shark, saw the tail whip right before my line popped (i could have brought it in given some time, but after seeing it wasnt a halibut, i was over it, buttoned down the drag and thumbed the spool)
it was about twice the size as the first.
anway, fun fishin. probably the best fights on this gear ive had in a loooong time.
tight lines,
Nick
