Cooooda of a life time

had some mates up from perth the last week which was good, tryed a few more fishings techiques. unfortunatly with the wind cranking this week we headed out just behind the reef for some jigging. managed a heap of corination trout and spangelies and all sorts of weird fish from the reefs. one of the days i was floating a mulie out the back on my 10kg outfit when i took of a second later the massive cooda exploded through the surface and clean into the air. after a awsome fight with alot of acorobats and wraping itself around the ancor rope a few times the beast below was boat side. with my mates clambering tot he front and back of the boat as it was tail grabed and pulled aboard. a few quick snaps and set free.

looking at those teeth, feet up also when we catch sharks, as Bob's got the rubber mallet out, knock the shark asleep then doing the bleeding, buggers.  We have to keep fins etc for daughters sister-in-law they are from Singapore, shark fin soup yummy.
