A Sight I Never Saw Before

[SirSnookalot]

Went off shore this morning, not a whole lot happening caught a few bonita and this Queen Trigger, a fish that must be released.

The excitement happened just as we were getting ready to come in, a fisherman (not me) hooks a small bonita about 7#, during the battle the bonita gets hit by a big cuda, not strange, but within seconds the cuda gets hit by about a 200# bull shark, fight on.............we then cut line. I've never seen a chain of hits like that before, an awesome sight.

Landing a bull shark that size is more aggravation than it's worth, no real point to shooting it, we aren't going to eat it.

Beautiful blue markings on that fish. Thanks for posting the picture.

Cool! That's something that rarely happens, more like drawing up the food chain cycle!

Actually what was more surprising was the barracuda hitting the bonita. Bull sharks are very commonly around when catching bonita as they bleed a lot, 6-10 sharks isn't rare. It can be a little scary in a small 21-24 boat, I was on a 60' foot drift boat with high sides so no danger.

Wow, that is pretty cool. I bet that was amazing to watch. Neat pic. Thanks for sharing.

That would have made for an awesome video. Have to admit I'd be a little freaked about that many sharks that don't mind taking a bite out of you hanging around the boat.

Bull sharks around a small boat is a bit scary at times, species that are bleeders attract them. That said, I would rather be there than in freshwater, on the issue of safety. In freshwater (fish shore only) the gators don't really bother me, but it's a concern. Snakes have gotten me real nervous, haven't seen one in a long time but it's constantly on my mind. I must have been by fire ants hundreds and hundreds of time, they hurt, have worn rubber boots and they crawl and find my flesh...........I am really losing it for freshwater.
