Catching a BIG BLACKTIP SHARK on the Daiwa BG 8000.Me and my wife both fought the shark which was a big 6ft blacktip shark.She fought it for 15 minutes and it was just to much for her, so she told me to take the rod.I fought it for less than 5 minutes because it was closer to the shore than we thought or I would have just ran down the beach and pulled it in!! That was my mistake because if I take the rod it does not count!! She has caught 3 nice blacktip sharks and a 6'3" spinner shark just this year.She also has a 7'2" lemon shark and a trophy blacktip that weighed at least 125lbs. I will be trying extra hard to get her another big shark to make up for this one!! Thanks for watching!!
