Corpus Christi was voted the city with the worst hair in 2010 in I forget which survey, but it makes sense because of the salty air, salty shower water and crazy wind.
The large rods are used because of how much pressure the sharks put on the rods, we normally use tuna class rods, strung with 80 lb mono with a 100 lb top shot of about 50-100 yds. The reels we use will hold approx. 800 yds of mono. Recently we have joined up with Apex Predators in a tagging program where we tag and release the sharks.
it gives you more leverage. ever use a 12ft surf rod to reel in a bull shark?? it sucks ass. they take kayaks to set their bait about 200-400yards out so there is no need for a surf rod. So they basically can use heavy gear required for sharks without any casting issues.
@pitbull292 just depends but i have alot of friends that are using any where from 40 to 80 i personally use 100lb top shot of mono and 100 lb of power pro on the bottom on a penn 50w and a 50 80 gator rod.
Wow man that was good, i wonder how long it took you to reel it in? I just caught an 86 pound catfish ( took like 45 minutes to reel it in :| ) and i was freaken ecstatic about that, i can imagine how excited i would be catching a shark,
i would love to fish in the crystal city, i just need a rod strong enough to catch something like that!!
its so beautifull, watching Mankind catch a creature, and then letting it free, i cant stand people that jsut kill the sharks when they catch them, I love fishing, but i always put my fish back, unless its a food fish. example- flounder, tuna, jack crevelle. just to name a few.
thx for releasing the shark! Nice video
