Had a 4hr shark charter Thursday night and we hit a good one. A dentist from Illinois said "If you can get me a tiger shark, you will have an awfully large tip". The ocean was too rough to venture out past the breakers to my tiger spot, so I took them to my Lemon shark hole where we've been hammering Lemons in the 200-300 range with an occasional Tiger or Hammer. We missed the first shark, but hooked the 2nd one. It fought like a regular 200lb lemon, a good run, but nothing unreal. Got it boatside and i was surprised, I knew it was a record when I saw it. My guess was well over 300, but wasnt sure if it would break 400. After a few phone calls and blown discs in my back...we got it half way in the boat to tow it in. I dropped the hammer on the way in hoping that we might be able to release it after it was weighed. Turned out to weigh 380 pounds, 10 feet long, and unofficially the new SC state lemon record. My second state record! Life is great!
