While Fishing with Ryan we were visited by a curious Hammerhead Shark which hung around the boat for quite sometime. We were even able to tease it to the boat with a large Savage Gear Panic Popper but we really wanted no part of this large animal on our light tackle. Next we get into some Heavy Goliath Grouper action and even a Nurse Shark takes the bait. Its almost become a rule that if you come on the boat with me you're required to catch a Goliath Grouper!
Just another great day on the water...
