Record-breaking catch
by Claudia Sonea


Destin Fishing Rodeo is a fishing tournament that gathers annually more than 30000 anglers from all over the world and all types. They compete through the entire month of October for over $100000 in prizes- from trophies and merchandise to bonds. There are three main categories: men, women and junior. All gamefish will be rewarded, daily or weekly. It's free for all fish lovers using boats registered in the Rodeo. On Saturday, the 52-foot charter boat called Twilight, whose captain is Robert Hill made the record capture of the fifty ninth edition of the tournament and the entire history of it. Together with other six friends among which Adler Burner, a 47 years old fishing lover, struggled to bring in the both the 844-pound shark. It was a mako shark caught just 70 miles southwest of this beach city in the Florida Panhandle. Bruner recounts the events of that they revealing his amazement towards the big catch and the time required to pull it out of the water. He and his buddies noticed the shark due to the fact that he just kept baiting their bait and therefore they lured him with a two-foot amberine and after along fight, despite the fact that they roped its tail, they still couldn't get it in to the boat, so they tied it to the charter and made four hours back. After it was gutted the monster still weighted 638 pounds breaking the tournament's record for shark of 338 pounds. God job, fishermen! Good luck to all the others and enjoy the terrible tasty barbecue made out of the catch. Stay connected and watch out for big sharks, there are still many left uncatched.
