Absolute BIGGEST I've Ever Seen - Panama City Beach Surf Fishing
I met Rip in PCB in the late afternoon and between us and a couple of his other buddies
we had like eight or nine shark rods to run out. Normally that would be quite an undertaking but
since we had both of our Aquacat bait boats it was actually pretty easy and we got it done pretty
quick. We had Bonita, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Barracuda, Blacktip shark and I can't remember
what else we had for bait. It was so easy with the boat we would just program it to drop the
baits at a predetermined spot. So the boat was basically on autopilot except for the launch
and the landing. It doesn't get any easier than that. After we got all of our shark baits out
I got the surf gear out and threw out some fish bites caught some whiting and we'll get started
with what I did with that live whiting. All right got us a live fresh mullet
and get out on the cast out.
There we go.
It's a shark. Is it a Blacktip?
I got your drone sir. Oh thanks buddy.
Wow. Three foot eleven inches. What's that?
That's the Sheephead. I don't know it dropped.
He's taking it still. Oh there he goes. There he goes.
Yeah.
All right let's get somebody in the belt. Get the big boy in the belt. All right.
Jerry P get your boy in the belt. Hey take off a little bit of drag.
Use a little drag. Yeah. All right now. Two speed it. Give it a heel. Keep it lined tight.
All right let that rod tip bend. Get him buckled up boys. Buckle him in.
We got the strap on now.
Gaining some line? Yeah. All right. Now don't tear my handle off of there.
You're still gaining line. Yeah. He ain't watered up in the middle.
Yeah a little bit. I'll keep an eye on it.
Is that a full reel? A line? Yeah. He's got a little ways to go.
It's full right? Real full. Yeah it's pretty full. Sorry I just blind you.
There he is. Yep.
Damn I thought it's gonna be bigger than that. I thought it's gonna be bigger than that.
Damn.
Dropped it?
You pulling line again?
Wait. Not in there. There you go.
Yeah please.
You can let it rest there like that. Okay there you go.
Oh my god y'all.
If you need me to make it easier to reel we can. Tell me. No I mean but I mean how much
how much longer do I have to go? You only got about 20 more minutes.
Hold on. Stop one second. Stop one second. All right now go. Is that easier? Oh yeah yeah yeah.
There we go. Yeah that's a lot easier.
You're halfway there. Oh my gosh. Are you serious? Maybe maybe maybe halfway.
Oh yeah okay. You have a real fast hand. I am.
Come on come on. Talk dirty to it. Come on.
Look at that. She's using two hands. You won't find that in Oklahoma.
That's some one-of-a-kind technique.
Oh you're in the maw now.
All right we're coming in with it. Damn it's getting heavy ain't it? Yeah.
You see him? I see him.
He's a big one. All right hold up hold up hold up hold up.
Hey we'll try to untangle this 130 first.
Yep I got him.
Hey Shawn. You're welcome. Hold this for me. Hold that for me.
If y'all got that sorted out. Yeah we're good here. You just gotta get the hook out of him now.
Pull him back and Shawn will grab him. He's gonna go. He doesn't even need a push.
