Caught it on a whole white grunt near the bottom, about 45ft down.

Releasing it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be:



This is the longer version:

it was actually bigger than seems in this picture, due to depth


still bigger than it looks


this is about right sizewise

Nurse sharks are amazing with all the jumping and long runs. Oh, wait that is the tarpon I'm thinking of. Nurse sharks are very similar to catching a log. But nice release. Good practice for the tarpon in your future.

That's awesome Dude! I used to shark-fish a lot off of Jax.Bch Fla fishing pier. I thought I'd seen it all, an awful lot of sharks were caught, all different kinds. But I've never even heard of a Nurse Shark ever been caught. What you caught is definitely a rare thing, even for Florida! Lol

Hmm. Not really.

Here is another nurse shark I caught not long ago: https://www.fishingstage.com/t-64035-1.html

And I caught maybe 3 or 4 since then that I didn't even bother reeling in. Either cut the line or yanked the line while holding the reel until the hook fell out of its mouth. Honestly, nurse sharks are more of a nuisance than anything else. Definitely wouldn't say rare down here. Maybe up north where you were things are different.

Yep, not rare in Florida.
