Mullet Run Fishing - Blacktip Shark

@BlacktipH I love ur vids, they're great man! After seeing that fin-nor of yours I decided to order one. It's the 75 size that holds 460 yards of 100 lbs braid. I was just wondering, what was the biggest shark you have caught with this reel? What is the maximum size shark that you think this reel could handle? your answer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much and tight lines!

@big9070

You can probably catch an 8ft shark with that reel. I have caught a few nurse sharks over 8ft with that reel, but that's not a challenge, just a pain in the butt.

to get the hook out...do you just pin it down, grab and lift the nose or tip part, and just use pliers to take the hook out of the mouth?

[BlacktipH]

@ital3nt3d

I use pliers and hold the mouth open.

[curtgowdysharkhunter]

j hooks work very well,you just got to know how to use them right

[big9070]

@BlacktipH Thanks man! thats about as big of a shark you can get alone anyway. any bigger and you'd need some friends. Thats perfect!
