6 of us were on Capt. Yuris boat 3 years ago 100 miles offshore on a flat calm day. The young army kid yelled he had one and it commenced to kick his you know what. He was peering down into the depths when suddenly he yelled out that he had hooked a huge shark. Grunting and groaning he kept reeling and reeled up the head of what was once about a 60lb Amberjack (one of the oceans bad boys...If you think your tough you don't know Jack).

The shark, about a 16 ft hammerhead followed the scent trail of the jacks head having already eaten the rest of it. It was absolutely huge and incredibly awesome. I had seen lots of film on sharks and most show them gliding about but this was as impressive of a display of any creature that I have ever witnessed. It proceeded to swim in swift "S" curves on the surface looking for that Jacks head. It was clear to me that if you were in the water it was over. There could be no escape. The amount of water it moved, speed and the flexibility it showed were quite the eye opener.

We have a saying offshore....."every things bait"  ;)
