Speaking of sharks, here's a shark story that doesn't have a shark being caught, according to Capt. Clark..."The story is that a boy on board, Zach Dajda, wanted to catch a shark. That's it, just a shark. Near the end of the trip, still with no shark, he was becoming disappointed. Then his rod bent over and line was ripping off the reel. Nearby were Glenn Graham and his son Glenn Graham, Jr., experienced fishermen who realized Zach needed help. With their skillful coaching and Zach's father's cheerleading, Zach landed the bull red, about 20#, which I gaffed. It was nice to see such teamwork and the excitement of a kid catching a big fish and it makes a great story".

Also on this trip was a group of families from Anderson, Texas. Give their group photo a look, along with Zach, his helpers and Zack's bull redfish.
