NEWKID 27,239 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) Well I'm out on a charter boat on Sunday, I'll keep my eyes peeled.. I'll make sure I've got my measuring stick, would hate to be accused if landing an undersized great white.. Lol I'll be honest that tope on the kayak had my ass nipping.. I see a bloke caught a 80lb blue shark on a kayak last week, dragged if up on top if him for the photo..lol I wanted to dive with reef sharks in Kenya but it was too rough to get out beyond the reef break.. I'd like to go down with them for a look, would shit myself I'm sure, but then I don't want to bungee jump or parachute jump but loads of people think that's ok.. f***ing nutters in my book..

No doubt if it moves up to Devon and theres another auction, you'll be organising a lot to catch it !! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vanman1 411 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah with my limited knowledge i would say bigger than 60lb for sure maybe -90lb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RemyBolt 420 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I would be guessing around 75-80lbs. The thing is, blue sharks have a very light skeletal structure, so can totally throw off estimates. This shark is an 80lb catch: http://fishinginireland.info/news/sea-reports/charter-fishing-on-clare-coast-makes-most-of-weather-windows-porbeagles-taken/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
