Beautiful fish.   I was rooting for the shark.  Glad he got off.

That explains a little test I did  on the Islander....

had  3 or 4 Makos, small ones, about 5'... buzzing me on the yak taking my  Bonitas...

it was kool, but then I thought, wonder if this shark shield works... hooked up another bonita, drawled them in and switched it on!!!

 On ya!! 3 of those suckers jumped out of the water like it was on fire...

  Pretty Awesome....

  Thanks Craig....

When the jumps got closer and closer to the boat, I thought the shark was going to end up jumping in boat. :smt044

I thought he was going in the boat on the next jump.  Powerful fish.  I was surprised they were fighting that not strapped in a chair.

I've often wondered if they have tried using a SS at the Guadalupe when they are getting heavily taxed.
