Sharks, Oh my!

Happy Father's day to all!
For Father's day Pastor Dave planned a fishing trip for several families in the church. We had about 20 fathers and kiddos go with us. It was the first time deep sea fishing for both of us. We went out on a large pontoon boat with about 25 fishing poles posted around the outside of the boat. It's a pretty simple process. They have 2 hooks weighted down with a piece of rebar, you bait your hooks with squid and drop it down until it hits bottom. There was only one tricky part you have to hold your thumb over the line as it releases or it goes crazy and you end up with a big knot. So a couple fishing rods later, we began to figure it out. Everyone on board caught at least 1 fish and some people caught up to 4 fish. We stopped at about 4 different places and had pretty good luck at all the locations except the last one. No one caught anything, until we were pulling up our lines to head back. One of the crew was pulling up his line when he got a bite. His pole was in the shape of a U. Whenever someones line would get stuck they would say "You caught Saipan". So we assumed he had caught Saipan, but his line was coming up slowly. So we watched as he struggled to pull up about a 3 foot shark.
