First Shark for the season of the shore

Good night down the beach chasing sharks
Hooked the first one in daylight, had it on for 35mins before it broke of, recken the tail got around the line.
Landed a couple of eaglerays on the lighter 15lb gear after then after 10 hooked the second bronzie. 50 mins later landed this one

Second run the penn 114 was so hot the reel was starting to burn my hand as it took so much line against a heavy drag, was a good night.
Wasnt the best photo as looks a little smaller than it was. Got a good vid that showed it better but there appears alot around the 6-8 feet mark around

Looks big enough for me to not want to have a bar of it in any more than toe deep water.

Nice bronzey colour,do you eat them?

#Went again tonight, no good but some guys down from us caught 2 bronzies within 10 mins from each other around the 6 foot mark.
So the fish are still around in numbers ok
