i know its kind late but since nobody has put up any sharks lately i figured i should to keep the board some what alive!!

the black tip challenge was a pretty short and quick this year..

i was really hoping for a big fish and was just trying to catch one by trying to use large baits and hoping the blacktips would leave the baits alone..

but the first 2 nights all that happend was the black tips were chewing up my good baits..
every bait i dropped got picked up by a tip or smaller shark..i wasnt trying to hook them just hoping they would drop the bait for a bigger shark to come along and pick it up..

so by staurday my thoughts were if you cant beetem joinem..so i decided to use smaller baits and try to hook some tips,,i guess catching tips is better then nothing and because the biggest black tip prize was over 500.00..

so on saturday i went out with my down sized gear and baits and managed to catch 7 sharks total between me and melissa..she caught a bull shark and a tip while i got to reel in the rest..

not the biggest sharks but still fun and had a good time!! maybe next year we will get another biggin!!

Yeah, shark rash can get infected quick. I usually grab the tips by the tail too, I bring a tail rope but by the time I land them it is 50 yards down the beach from my gear.
