I was supposed to attend a wedding in Islamorada this last weekend. BUTTT everybody canceled and flaked out. So I called up my favorite guide in Key West, ask him if the weekend was open, and got lucky that the client who booked this weekend became ill and cancelled! His loss is my gain.
People who know me well can attest to my affinity for sharks. I love fishing for them, swimming with them, photographing them, tagging them, and helping out shark conservation efforts at every opportunity. Friends and captains think I'm crazy because I enjoy fishing fishing for sharks more than I do fishing for marlin! I just have tremendous respect for the diversity, power, and importance of these apex predators.
I have seen them in Europe, Australia, Africa, Central America, and everywhere on both coasts of the US (including Hawaii). Out of all of those places, Florida is the best for shark variety, quantity, and close proximity to shore. This trip was no different, as I released many sharks of 4 different species in 2 days.
A short video I put together:
Enjoy!
