Florida Road Trip 2013

[fishfight]

What size rod were you using on the 7' shark? Line size? I guess it would be hard to really predict what type of fish will bite on which rod, if one uses a heavy duty rod and a small fish bites, then one would hardly enjoy the fight, but if a big shark accidentally chose to take the bait on the light rod, then it would be so tough to land the fish.
How high was the bridge? Did you guys have to take two ropes, one front, one back to hoist the fish to the top?

FLorida plane tickets are only around $300+ right now to Fort lauderde for the following week Sunwing flight, so tempting to go after being envious witnessing the Shark being landed. Best ticket deal flight from toronto I have seen so far. Other option to Florida....Fly from Buffalo, stay for a night at Hampton Inn for $85, one can leave car at their lot for up to two weeks . Includes free shuttle, call just to verfiy parking lot not full.
