I caught a shark


Over the Christmas break, I was able to spend a week with my parents down in Clearwater, FL. They live on the beach and you can walk out their back door onto the sand.

The second day I was there, my dad and I went fishing out in the ocean (we waded out about 50 feet) and although we did not catch much (my dad only caught one catfish), I did catch something I had never caught before in my life. I caught a shark.

It was a bonnethead shark (see picture) about 2 feet in length. Because we were standing out in the water, and the closest camera was back the condo, I am sad to say that I do not have a picture of "my shark." I will say though it was pretty stinkin' exciting.
