“After the release, you can see steam coming out of my ears processing what had happened,” says Dylan Wier, who with his business partner Blaine Kenny and a group of family friends from Wisconsin now have the mother of all fish tales. How they caught it:
. It shows the exuberance the group experienced as they sensed their haul was a species rarely caught in Gulf waters from those fishing on a beach.“At the time, it was around 4:30 in the morning and were the only people on the beach,” said Wier. “I thought, ‘what a cool memory for our group.’ Just a cool moment.”
The catch occurred right around spring break, which draws large crowds of out-of-state vacationers to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach for a week of sun, surf and swimming in the Gulf. Wier said that his company often flies drones above the Gulf. He said that most people do not have “a single clue” as to how close Gulf swimmers are to sharks. A shark-on-human bite, though, is extremely rare and often only occurs whenever the animal is confused, Wier noted.A great white shark, believed to be the first ever caught off the shores of Alabama, was reeled in by a group on a land-based shark fishing trip on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, in Orange Beach, Ala. .
Wier said he had “zero idea” on the weight of the great white shark. That’s because the shark was immediately released, following a hectic flourish of photographs that were taken to confirm that the fish was, in fact, a great white. The 32 minutes to lure the fish to the beach might also have been the longest fishing struggle for Wier and Kenny. He said the typical blacktip reef shark will take about seven minutes to reel in, while some of the biggest tiger sharks swimming 200 yards or so from the beaches will take 15-20 minutes.
