1st Place Junior Angler Award- Oak Bluffs Monster shark Tourney
I would like to be proud for a moment and congratulate my son Anthony (gman Jr) for being awarded 1st place in the Junior Angler Division in the Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tourney this past weekend. What a week, lost monster thresher, big Makos swimming around the boat 60 minutes before lines in, only begins to describe our weekend battle with sharks and weather however Anthonys performance was the silver lining to it all.
Anthony (12) put on a clinic on how to battle sharks especially in rough seas. He released 8 Large blue sharks on day two, 4 of which were over 9 ft fork which equates to about the 300+ range and weighed in a Mako just short of 6 ft which went 180. It was a short fish but extremely fat with a girth of 40" and a belly packed with snapper blues. The mako didnt exceed the benchmark but it was his largest Mako to date so we decided to throw the calcuttas out the window and take the fish. All fish were caught by IGFA standards and I am extremely proud of him. His use of great balance and technique helped him accomplish his goal. Anthony was able to get some press time with Spike TV so hopefully they will put him on the labor day show. I will post my full report later today on the other forum but I wanted to congratulate him among his peers for an outstanding job in rough conditions. Love you Anthony we are very proud of you ...Team Bite Me & Family tightlines Glenn |
