DINOSAUR SAWFISH! 14 feet long!

I headed into the backcountry of Islamorada from Bud n' Mary's Marina with my Brother Capt. Rick Stanczyk and Brandon aka "Bean". We started out catching sea trout, ladyfish, and a sheepshead and then ran to the next spot for some shark fishing. While waiting for the sharks to bite we got into some nice snook! A little while later Brandon and I caught a double header shark, I got a nice blacktip shark and he got a lemon shark. We put the baits back out and the next bite was a giant sawfish estimated at 14' long! It was the first big sawfish I have ever caught as an angler! After some video we cut the line as close to the fish as possible.

Once in a lifetime catch! Most people will never see a sawfish in the wild, let alone catch one! Great job Nick!

[@lahatchet]

LMAOOOOO

[@omcbob37]

That's a freaking beast!! Great job on playing it out without overtiring it. Really great to see the sawfish making a comeback - hopefully you don't lose many more over there to the toxins or whatever has been killing them off recently. We used to have a lot of sawfish over here on the Texas coast but they totally disappeared years ago due to a combination of over-fishing and lots of them killed in drag nets. The last one caught here was back in 1984 in a Parks and Wildlife sampling net.

[@Adam-uk2dh]

What a beautiful specimen!! Thanks for sharing!
