so after work i desided i was going to give it another shot i mean why not the fishing has been hot. so my boss and his wife want to go with me and i am not the guy that wont take someone fishing so heck yea lets go. unfortunetly justin stewart couldent come on this trip but hey i wish you were there buddy. so i yakked out 2 baits on the 6/0s. and it was dead all night. so about 2:00 we deside to call it a night and start packing up. and as me and WES (my boss) were putting the yakk on the truck zzzz…………………..zzzzz………………………zzzzzz realy slow so i let the fish take it and then wam the hooks were set. it felt like a good fish but i will say i thought it was a sandy. but it just ran alot harder. well KATHY (bosses wife) had never caught a shark befor so i let here reel it in and helped her with the rod and line stuff. so the fish gets in to the wash and i grab the leader and then i see a tail i havent seen before. at first i thought it mite be a blacktip but the fight was so differant. and thenit roled and i freaked it was my first tiger shark well our first tiger shark. she was so perty . she wasent big but hey it was a tiger. we realeased the fish , finished packin up and went home. guys this week is one for the books for us here in NC i think we should all go out and play the lotery. jason

We had 3 baits out, rigged with mullet, yakked approx 500 yards.  The warm summer night was conducive to catching.  We had caught 2 blacktip sharks and one finetooth shark before everything got quiet.  We were sitting on the beach, in for the long haul, waiting for a reel to sing. 

A few hours later, I saw the tip of one of the rods start to bend.  I ran up to the rod, set the hook, and started fighing the fish.  The fight didn’t take too long. Well, I let everyone in my crew fight it for a little bit (Penn 9500, oceanmaster heavy, braid).  We put the fish on the sand, my girlfriend took a few pics, I took the hooks out, and released the shark.  I didn’t take the time to measure it as I wanted to release it as quickly as possible.  I’de guess around 5′6″ to 6′.  This is my first Tiger Shark.
