Tiger Shark Caught while Kayak Fishing

WEBSITE: http://blacktiphfishing.org

While I was trolling a live croaker, I hooked up on a huge fish. Because I was using a 60lb Fluorocarbon leader I was doubting that it was a shark. After the fish towed me over 500yds, I found out that I had hooked a tiger shark. I was shocked that he did not bite through the fluorocarbon leader. I got some great underwater footage of the shark as it was swimming right beside my kayak.
