This beautiful Redfish was instantly terminated with one bite
from a very aggressive Black Tip Shark. I watched the drama
take place 150 feet off the stern of my boat…
As our day was near it's end, the
water erupted violently as I watched a large school of giant
Redfish rise above the surface of the calm bay. I poled the
skiff into position as quickly as I could, trying to get the
client set up to cast. As we approached we could see an injured
fish slowly dying. It's blood pumped from the rear of his
severed body with each beat of his heart. The fish lay dying
in a pool of it's own blood that must have covered a 20 foot
diameter.
Nature is always wonderful and sometimes
cruel. The sight was both awesome and hideous. The Shark was
a magnificent hunter and the once magnificent Redfish fell
prey to the cycle of life in the ocean waters.
