Nice video, good stuff. That's how you learn trial and error when fishing solo. When I shark fish solo I just rope my leader around the weight and pull the rope much easier to control and way easier to pull the shark up especially if it a 6 to 7ft + shark. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad the shark made it. I'm not going to say what things could have been done differently. Definitely don't go alone if that shark would have died you would be feeling like crap. We know that we only got so much time to dehook the shark

Leave them alone shark finning is a sin against all nature and I don't like what your doing leave the sting Ray's alone as well. Maybe the lightning trying to tell you something. you do know playing a big fish for a long time can kill them they fill up with lactic acid and can and do die from it. Don't say we not on your side, take the hook stick in your cheek set it hard see how it feel's then try doing some reading about lactic acid ànd fish that's the outcome every minute it takes you longer and longer no the camera for you not her you don't really care if she lives or die's don't dare say she just fine, your beat right now poor baby how about the shark.

Love ity. His gear is so heavily set up, theres no need for him to play it out and tire it. He just gut busts it in and his gear is strong enough to handle it. Good work. That was bigger than any shark I have ever caught. Im not sure my gear set up would handle something that big. Nice. Thats worth bragging about at the pub.

That was painful to watch man. Unnecessarily complicated for you and the shark as well. Maybe next time you go alone have some metal rod rammed into the sand around which you can fixate the line. That way you'll have two hands free.

Can I ask why you didn’t pull it out by its tail? Instead of wrestling with the rope?

Use a circle hook and get a long handle Gaff. Run the gaff hook down the leader to its mouth, hold the line and jerk the hook out! You have to much going on and that’s when you get hurt. I love you videos and I don’t want you to get hurt.

"Sometimes you just have to grab the bull by the tail and face to situation"..... W C Fields

I use to fish alone all the time still do but when you catch sharks you must be very cautious and have someone else to help if that is your main target and remember never turn your back on the waves .

That was intense, when you had the your hand near its mouth and the waves kept hitting you couldn’t see her head. I for sure thought we were going to see a head turn up out of the water and take your hand off. Scary stuff when you couldn’t see the head.

You should grab a minimum 16” preferably 24” ARC unhooker. And 6ft of 1-3/4” pvc pipe as a rod holder. I can’t say anything bad about the arc dehookers and the rod holder I leave about 3 ft exposed and it’ll hold almost anything you want while you drag in.

I’ve been wanting to catch a shark for almost a month now. I finally used sting ray and after my line being in for 20 minutes I had caught a 5 foot sandbar shark. I have never in my life have caught a fish as big as 5ft. My friends would come a lot but they ended up losing hope, so I would start going 1-4 times a week surf fishing. 2 days ago I caught one and MAN after 30 minutes of fighting the fish I WAS TIRED. I was panicking thinking it was gonna bite me so I was scared to unhook it. I ended up unhooking and man I felt messed up cause it look like it had died. Turns out it was just tired and swam away after 10 minutes.

Anyone coming to the TX coast to fish, be VERY careful in the dunes. Rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and even copperheads love them. Have run into all three multiple times in Galveston and Bolivar and had a friend got tagged by a rattlesnake near Corpus and have heard stories of people getting bit when they go into the dunes to go to the bathroom. If we go fishing or exploring in the dunes and marshy areas I will actually wear snake boots a lot of times. I know my boy here knows that, but for people not from around here or not used to fishing the Gulf Coast. Would bet money this would apply all around the Gulf from FL to TX.
