Big Blue Shark On My Striper Pole

This happened last month, but it's a story you guys will appreciate. I went out with some friends about 50 miles off Hyannis. It was a great trip. Caught Blue Fish as the sun rose, then motored east for Mako, Threshers and Blues. I reeled in the first shark with the Penn 50 all harnessed up. After that it was time to relax and watch the rest of the crew fight it out with what turned out to be a steady stream of big ol' sharks.
After awhile I got ancy. I put my 3 piece striper rod together, slapped on the Penn Slammer, grabbed a shark hook and baited it with a Blue Fish fillet. I hucked the bait out and just sat there on the bow day dreaming.
What resulted was one of the most exciting fights of my life. The screaming reel snapped me back to attention. It was a long battle, but the 40lb braid and blue fish leader held up. I wore this shark out, and got the leader to the boat. COUNT IT! 7-8 Feet long, several hundred pounds. I LOVE FISHING!
