The Black Tip Shark That Did Not Get Away!

This is the tale of the black tip shark that did not get away! It was a day for catching everything that you don't want to bring home for dinner. After catching a large ray and having me cut the line once it got close to the boat, Ronnie managed to catch this black tip shark.

This guy gave a great fight and once he got close enough, I cut the line but not too close. Those teeth just did not look friendly at all!

Even though Ronnie did not bring home dinner, it was a fantastic day on the boat and I did shoot some wonderful video of the Dunedin coastline for another blog post. Besides, we are still eating that snook!

Another gorgeous day for the 2 of you.  I wish my son was back here with his boat.  maybe Dick and I should just rent one for the day.

Good grief - that is an amazing couple of photos. I too would have stayed clear of those sharp teeth.

Hello Barbara Jo, I am glad the line was cut, I think I would pass on that one also, but people do eat stark, right!

Hi Barbara Jo - your adventures with Ronnie on the boat catching fish are really thrilling! You could write a book and your pictures are so great too!

I think you're really brave too!!!

Barbara Jo,

 I do not like sharks and this for me would have been too close for comfort! Well about dinner there is always tomorrow's fishing! I hope you are having a good one!

My husband would be so envious that you are with your husband on the boat.  We have a sailboat and I want nothing to do with it.  Great photos!

I'm glad to hear you don't cut the fins off and then throw the rest of the fish away.  Some people will do that and it's a real shame.

That is a little too close for me too. Those sharks just need to stay away. I was hoping to see a photo of that clean boat of Ronnie's.

Where's the picture of you diving on his back and wrestling him to submission?

Thanks for sharing the photos of the shark. That is about as close as I really want to get to a shark, even though we own a home on the ocean.

thanks for the comments. This wasn't even an especially large shark either.

Barbara Jo, 

That shark did not look very happy in your pictures . Good thing you folks cut him loose. I do like the pictures.
