Large Hammerhead Cruising La Jolla
 

Had a cool encounter with a large hammerhead, approx 10 footer, right on the edge of the bed last weekend. He came very close on the first pass, then i got the vid on the second pass. He was very curious and hung around us for about an hour.

You cant really blame him for sniffing me out, as i had just bled out a nice 25# yellow not 5 minutes earlier. Also heard a rumor of a tiger shark in LJ. Keep your legs in the boat, i guess(;

Such a cool sighting! You better know im going to try and catch one of those now!

oh baby. "100% chance you'll see a shark"

holy crap. GW, HH and now tigers.

keep calm and fish on!

Awesome! Haven't seen a hammerhead in LJ since the 70's when I was a kid. You know El Nino is here when you start seeing these species of sharks...

that is one awesome shot!:cheers1:

Had a nice one Cruz by me yesterday at AR 2 outside oside harbor...super cool to see on the water wish I had my go pro handy...nice video and nice yellow!!!

If I see one I'll need a new swimsuit. :eek:

What do you do if you hook into that beast?

Get it fairly close and cut it off before it gets too close. Braid's expensive and the tug is the drug!:cool:

I know that I have 65 lbs braid. 50 bucks for 500 yds. Buts seriously my bad ass military side will be hard to hold back getting the beast close to the boat so that I can leap on to it's back and sink a large dive knife into it's spine!

Same experience in la jolla last summer . 10 foot at back and side of yak for 45 minutes while I had a YT in my lap. Beats a GW (had last summer) and a tiger
