Jigging & Light Jigging report(s)

[MariosK]

Κατά την γνώμη μου είναι Τζεντρόνι που λαλούμε στην Πάφο (Squalys Acanthias). Είναι κοινό ψάρι στην Κύπρο αλλά σε μεγάλα βάθη. Για να φτάσει το μέγεθος που έπιασε ο David παιρνούν πολλά χρόνια και τέτοια μεγέθη είναι σχετικά σπάνια.

David can you please send a good picture of the upper fin? Was there a spike on the upper fin just in front of it? Very hard to see if you don't get it out of the water because is part of the fin and in parallel.

Hello my friends.

I gave you guys a headache with this shark. We were happy the leader broke after 1 hour fight.
I just wish we used the same cam we always use, that way you will be able to see it better like I did in person.
All I can tell you for sure 10000% is, it was not a hammerhead-thresher-tiger-mako or great white
All the one I listed above I know well from back home.
I played with some photos with Photoshop, I hope you can see the upper fin & tail better.
Look at the tail, there is an edge there, maybe that will help identify it.

Next time I will put it in the boat & we will go back to shore swimming

Must have been amazing experience catching that monster,well done bravo

Thank you file... Wish you the same !

[JiggingDude]

I have heard from somewhere that in case that this shark was on the board you three would be swimming to reach the coast and you would go after an hour or so to pick up the boat

way to go David, you are really amazing my friend

Thank you file.
It was something else that day. Will not forget it anytime soon.

one question.. that glove that one of you was wearing.. what was it for??

i am watching this video again and again and i still not believe it!!! you are amazing

The gloves re? looool
At the beginning, I thought it was a hugeee Orphos, it fought the same for the first 5-10 minutes that's why i put the gloves on because we had a small net on the boat.

Marios, look at the photos I posted above. I hope they help.
That's the best I could do. Next time, we will leave this cam back home.

David the pictures helped! My mistake, it's not a tzentroni. Never seen something this from close but from the books looks very similar to Sandbar Shark, although can't tell for sure because the upper fin looks smaller from the video but is not clear. It could also be a Spinner Shark but his head doesn't look that pointy from the video.

Ι dont know why i am the only one looking at a hammerhead (maybe because of the fire fumes i smoked today).

Smooth Hammerhead (Sphyrna Zygaena, a species that lives in the Med)



The tail in your photos has the exact shape

Also if you freeze the video at some frames (11:49 and later) you can see the hammer shaped head as a white color. I hope im wrong

[mariosspinning]

I think is sandbar shark or bignose shark

Re file, let me know what kind of fire fumes you smoked so next time I catch a sinagrida I will see a mermaid instead

Seriously though, at 11:49, what you see is the inchiku re

Hammerheads I know, caught a few of them in Mexico a few years back.

I think so file...
