Lock and Load Cod Action

[tuna101]

There was some great lock and load cod action east of the bank today in 250-270 feet of water. Tons of cod to 20 lbs, a few haddock, and a cusk. My son was reeling up a short cod and ten feet under the boat, I saw a huge flash of white. It disappeared and then a few seconds later, a 200-300lb dusky shark decided to come take a peek at the fish as we had it dangling on the surface next to the boat. The dusky took some good looks at it. It was pretty cool as I have never gone sharking before. The next cod we brought up had its tail bitten off...

We also saw a bunch of tuna, but mainly one or two at a time and no definite blitzes. Also, had one take a swipe at a Ron-Z but missed.

Tuna101....now that's some action! And about that shark following your cod to the boat???

My kids would lose their minds seeing that!!?? Probably glad he didnt take your cod.......whoa!!!???? Talk about by-catch!

Good luck

It was awesome, although my 12 year old stopped fishing for the next 30 minutes after seeing the shark. After the shark came by, I put out the cod that got its tail bitten off out on a balloon and 50W to see if we could get some tuna practice.

Nice job on the cod, but everyone knows you can't catch a tuna with a cod.



What were you thinking?

We weren't trying to catch a tuna. We were trying to catch the dusky...
