My son had his first experience with a 6' shark this weekend off Elliot Key. In about 10' of water. He shot a nice keeper black grouper and second later was trying to fend off a black tip reef shark. What is the best tactic for keeping your fish? Are black tips known for stealing fish down here?
We thought it was a bull shark at first but we have some very spotty video and realized it was black tip. I was able to get to my son and we were gonna try and double team the shark but he stayed inches away from my spear tip every time. He was super fast too and the boat was far away.
