🎣Happy Fathers Day🎣
This journey of fishing all started with our dad. Clearly the love for fishing spread to his sons, who are now bringing that joy to their own children!

Hammer video is now live! Kept it short, sweet and simple since nighttime footage is always a chore to keep interesting. Hoping to hit the beach (maybe even some rivers, ponds and lakes), a few more times this Summer to get more video content for the channel🦈🎣

Over the past decade of Land Based Shark Fishing, two things have escaped us. Despite constant efforts, we've never caught a Greater Hammerhead. Despite having been in this for over a decade now, we've also never placed or caught a fish worth submitting for a tournament.
Both of those things changed when we headed down to Galveston to fish the Beach Masters Tournament this past weekend.
Friday was uneventful, and the current wasn't doing us any favors. In the morning we reeled in our baits and it was clear that pup sharks were plentiful based on the small bites. Saturday was just hot and uneventful, with Hardheads, Whiting and a few pup sharks being the only thing being caught.
Suddenly around 10PM, we had one of "those" runs. The type of run that jolts you out of your seat, and you wait for the run to stop, but it keeps going. This run was more energetic than all the lazy Bulls we've caught, more powerful than all the Blacktips, and more aggressive than even the 11'11" Tiger we had caught a few years ago.
We both had a strong feeling that we were finally about to bring in our first Hammerhead. Time flew by, the fish stayed strong and had a few powerful runs. However, it was clear the fish still wasn't sizable enough to outwork the Avet 80W. While I continued fighting the shark from the rack, I watched as my brother disappeared into the dark to leader the fish. After sometime of losing sight of him in the darkness, I heard him say it: "HAMMER!!!" I'll never forget that exact moment, after hunting for one for so many years, and I can only imagine how he felt watching that sickle like dorsal fin pierce the water.
Chaos ensued, she was feisty and not having it, and taking the pictures had her out of the water for a little longer than either of us would have liked. She wasn't a giant, only coming in at 97.5 inches, but she was our first Greater Hammerhead and she proved to us why they get the reputation for fighting and hard as they do. We were worried during the release as she struggled to regain her energy, but after about 5 minutes she regained her strength and swam off into the dark.
That right there made the entire trip. But of course, there was also the thought of, "is this shark big enough to place in the tournament?" We all had work on monday and didn't want to stay if we knew there was no chance. We had caught wind of a monster Tiger and Dusky being caught(huge props to 1st and 2nd place), so knowing that 3rd was the best we could do, there was a bit of uncertainty. However, the time came, and we got to experience our first ever placing in a fishing tournament with a 3rd place win. Not only did we land our first Hammerhead, but we also placed for the first time in a tournament. And best of all, all 3 of the Seaborn brothers were present for this experience. It seems like such a long post to make for what is considered a smaller Hammerhead and a 3rd place finish, but both of these things were truly monumental and unforgettable for Team Seaborn Fishing.

Not the giants we were hoping for, but three Bull Sharks (6'1", 6'2" and 6'6") in a 30 hour trip is still a success. Catch. Photo. Release.

My favorite type of fishing photo is a good release photo. We caught this little guy yesterday. Not quite the monster we were looking for, but it's always nice to see a set of stripes on the beach.

Old footage from 2018 that I never bothered to edit for Youtube due to the camera angles. However, I had some time, so I decided to throw it together and post it anyways!

Not bad for a quick little overnight trip!
This 8FT Lemon Shark picked up a Stingray at around 10:30PM and was released around 11PM. She definitely pulled a bit of drag and gave a few heavy head shakes throughout the fight to keep me on my toes, but we still got her in quickly and released her just as quickly!
