Homie is stoked! Light tackle fishing is so much fon.

Get him to share some recipes. I tried cooking one one time, and, although I am a damn good ex-professional cook, I couldn't make it not taste like pee.

Never knew you can eat those sharks. Crazy fun story about Bob! Scary part is thats a popular swimming beach and knowing Bob and family are there again this year is unsettling. Honestly its The reason I stopped swimming in the beach. Please post the vid thanks.

Yeah, it was kind of weird, jet skis, swimmers, paddle boards skiers all around and without a clue. I was a fair distance from the beach but still...

I debated on calling the coast guard and letting them know Bob was there but wasn't sure what they could do, I think next time I'll just call it in and let them know.

The vid would load here due to it not being an accepted format so try this link and see if you can access it...

I'll ask him. I think the flavor you experienced is due to shark sweat. When you fight the shark it sweats internally, that gives off an ammonia flavor if not allowed to be released. I usually don't gaff Leopards but just swing them into the kayak. I then put them on a game clip and stick them over the side, they're usually pretty docile by then and just cruise along the side of the kayak. This allows the shark to process the 'sweat' out of it's system. At least that's what I do, I've heard of other methods too but haven't tried any of them.

Ive been told to gut them right away to avoid them tasting like pee and it seemed to work for me the 2 that I've kept and ate were delicious!
