Ya......pretty clear for having your hands full !! Live action shot !!
It'd be nice to have a gopro for the action shots when they come up out of that water like a missile trying to shake that hook.
who eats all those sharks?
Well jeff lots get sold to the mid west, and I know the whole mexican prison system buys it as a cheap source of fish for there prisoners. It actually could be shipped anywher in the world. America is rich so we eat high quality fish but much of the world cannot afford 8-10 dollar a pound fish, but .50cents to a dollar a pound is affordable for most of them. So they export there high dollar fish to us, and we send them our shark as affordable fish to feed the masses. And then the rich Chinese billionaires buy our shark fins for 30-50$ a pound. Im sure our middle man marks them up from 60-100$ a pound. Lots of money gets trown around for these sharks.......hard to believe but its true.
My youngest daughter text me this today. Her and her Dallas firefighter boyfriend are like peas in a pod and always doing something together. Today it was fishing and she caught the biggest.
Chinese royalty traditionally ate shark fin soup for it's medicinal qualities. The medicinal connection has been disproved, but the tradition continues. A couple claims are that it cures cancer and that its an aphrodisiac.

Sis, fly fishing is fun. Love fly fishing in the gulf for speckled trout.
