Passed the 226 and set in at 550 - thought for a moment that we were on Lake Moultrie about to catch catfish it was so calm - picked at the dolphin - had a large shark eat one whole about 20yards fron the boat. First sail hit at 10:30 40#ish released, doubled 12pm released one about 70#, dropped the other - mean time the other long rigger gets bit - fed it back and hooked up and starts ripping the 30W, after 40 mins of fight hoping for a blue ended being our friend from earlier 10 foot shark - Green brown with a thresher type tail - ID anyone?
maybe a bronze whaler? not sure about the thresher type tail.

Looked at some ID stuff and came up with oceanic white tip shark? when it was under we really thought it was a marlin lit up white on the fins - whatevever - it was a shark… put it down full and popped her at 10yrds… my chest has a nice tatoo that says 30sws!
