Some do WHEN they are Gut hooked. But with today’s circle hooks, it is virtually eliminated. When hooks are left in the mouth, it simply rust off within a few days in saltwater or a few weeks in freshwater. In any case, the hook is better left in when the angler cannot get it out safety from the fish without injuring or killing the fish.
Captain, I’m … Captain, I’m thinking about an LX on an 8 ft MH star rod..do you think this setup would balance? How’s the castability with avets? I swim my bait out 100 yards or so from the beach, if I can approach 60 on a cast I believe that would be enough..I use cut baits 5-8 oz . I was maybe even thinking of getting a used avet if the prices are out of my range. I was very curious about how they cast because I have to swim out pretty far to get takes consistently, and you seem to really like avets.
Okay heres the last … Okay heres the last comment So my dad has I think 80 pound test line and a 200 leader. And he was using a 4 inch mullet for bait. After like 30 seconds the line just snaps and all 4 men fall all back on the ground. Man I was sitting there laughing my off So we dont know what it was but all we now it was nothing normal at all. Because the pole is around 8 feet above the water. And It was 1 foot away from touching the water. So Yeah it was a crazy experience.
But my dad dad did … But my dad dad did not make it in enough time to my dads friend Jason, hes a crazy fisherman so he picks that pole up and immediately he almost gets pulled off the pier. So im sitting there just staring at 4 guys trying to manhandle this one pole. so then my dads like hurry thumb it. But Jason does not know that for ulua poles he has to hold the reel on its side not push on the line. But then you know what happens he thumbs the line. In result he had a blister bigger the size of his own thumb.
Okay thanks alot … Okay thanks alot Ive always had a 20 pound test with a 40 lead so im good to go with that
And Ive actually started to use live bait with circle hooks. But I dont know exactly know what size they were so yeah. But thanks alot Ive been getting a lot of bites on our last trip.
Oh man my dad almost caught a MONSTER. At first it was just a little ring on his 13 foot ulua pole. So I was like hey dad, your pole is going o- then the line just starts SCREAMING. Im like wow I think you hooked Moby Dicko_o
Yeah, if you are in … Yeah, if you are in a boat, line capacity isn’t as big an issue so you don’t have to use quite as heavy tackle as i do..I do get a few sharks because I fish cut baits for tarpon, but in my experience the sharks usually give up easier..i like 80-100 lb braid and 250 lb mono leader to muscle the tarpon in as fast as possible so he does better after release, and you don’t have to revive them as much this way..they are usually ready to go once you guide them along
You can land the … You can land the smaller sharks on Redfish tackle. A 2/0 circle hook works great, 20 pound test suffix braided line, 40 pound leader with a little bit of light wire.
what is the line … what is the line capacity on those avets you were using? i use a penn 330gt2 on an 8 ft. star rod, holds 500-600 yards of 80 lb braid..i need alot of line capacity because i fish for tarpon on the beach from shore and they can peel off 100 yards of line real quick.
Okay I will go … Okay I will go search that brand up. If there’s no problem I might want to ask a few more questions because I could not get everything in that last text. Okay I really want to pull up my first baby shark soon. Because all I can get is bonefish. Ive got a 23in 6 pounder and a 24in 8 pounder. So yeah And now for the questions. What pound test? What size hook? What pound test leader..? ( If needed ) And What size reel. My dad thinks it would be good to start off on a 2/0 ( I believe )
Oh my god. You guys … Oh my god. You guys must like catch everything. Im actually starting back up to fish again, family moved back to Hawaii and in the 4th week of fishing my dad caught a 100-150 pound 6ft’ black tip or whatever shark. Dont really know the names of all the reels & rods. Because Im only 13, but Im trying to start the Deep sea reels Like you guys have. Ive never used one, No experience. But otherwise, any advice? Because were going pier fishing in a few days. It would be great for some tips. Thanks.

The LX Holds a bunch of line. I was only using the MX. You would be fine using the LX for shark fishing in my opinion.
