Bad quality video but biggest shark I’ve “caught”. Fought it on pier & reeled in attempted to pull up & remove hook but 50lb mono didn’t hold up. I would guess it’s somewhere between 5 & 5-1/2ft hard to tell in video. Fun fight can’t wait till next time I’ll have my shark gear a little more upgraded and hopefully I can land one this size from the surf.
