They said, we're from the land of 10000 lakes, everyone up there knows how to catch fish and lots of them. I can come back with pictures of stringers full of fish and it would mean nothing to my friends. I come back with a picture of a shark and I'm a man among men. Perception.

Incidentally they caught a nice 6' black tip the first morning. The boat's cook had that thing filleted and grilled by lunch time. Damn good eating.
Lmao my motto is pictures or it didn't happen.. A few times I've kicked myself in the ass because my phone died and I couldn't get a picture..

People are always amazed by sharks and I'm like no thanks especially when you catch them so close to the shore that's when I think of all the times I fished in the surf at night and it's scary.. I'm more scared of stingray's I had a friend get stung 2 times once he was fishing at night in the surf Alone with no reception he almost lost his foot it was pretty bad..

I honestly just like fishing I feel like a little girl in the toy section at Walmart idk plus I get to talk shit to the guys when I catch bigger fish than them haha..
