I’ve speared some big fish in my day but this behemoth takes the cake!! After three days of chumming rotten blood n guts, waiting miles off shore in the grueling sun this giant bull finally appeared out of the blue. Yet as fast as he had appeared he quickly circled the boat then vanished back into the deep before I could c**k my arm and get a throw. I was frustrated. I should have been ready. Time passed as I tossed blood into the water, hoping and waiting. Hours later, deep below, he reappeared only now with two others behind him. Taunting me to throw, he stayed deep, just out of range. Then suddenly a smaller shark hit the bait and that was all it took. With a thrash of his long tail in he came. His teeth sprang out from open jaws and crunch he took the entire bait. Devoured a thirty pound chum bag with one chomp. It happened fast, now with a mouth full he turned to leave with blood gushing from both sides of his mouth. The time was now! Without hesitation, I heaved it! Six feet deep the Sea Hawk spear dove then drove its barb deep in the massive shark’s back. Again the beast whirled for the deep only this time with a rope in toe. Two big barrels launched out of the boat then plowed across the surface at a startling speed. Off they went parting the waves like bobbers on a pond. And then….down they went. For a moment we all stood in awe! The captain then frantically began digging in the bowel of the boat for his gun. His first mate was still staring off at the blue water while I quickly readied a second spear. And that my friends, was just the beginning!! So stay tuned!
