[george]

Ttoday started out as the usual sea bass and porgy trip- then we had a hungry visitor! It's not every day a party boat pulls in a shark of this size!

Look at the photo and it looks like there's a Penn 50 setup there. Possibly it grabbed an easy meal and then was baited into a bite.

LOL, I was going to ask WTH goes out for porgies and sea bass with a Penn International? Person was definitely loaded for bear...

didn't see the Penn on the rail - was looking at the shark

That's a lot of weight to swing up over the rail ...... would have loved to see some pictures of that maneuver ! Tail rope, three guys on gaffs maybe ?

Nice whip tail with sharks being so close to shore the last few yrs Its not uncommon for boats fishing for fluke seabass etc to carry a heavy setup for sharks etc

 

[live bait]

I would like to know how they made sure it was dead prior to lifting it on deck, can't imagine a live thresher on a head boat deck.

George, I always bring a 50w setup when I'm cbass and fluke fishing, don't you? ?

Maybe if I'm fishing Nantucket Shoals... ? ? ?

My neighbor just offered me an 80 bent butt setup, my first reaction was "Wow, can't wait to take that out cod fishing!!"

 

[BennyV]

They always carry some gear like that on the boat. In the area their fishing I would too. That Race/Block Island area holds a lot of creatures like that this time of year.

Is the floating chum bucket use for porgies ? I put mine near the bottom.
