380lb. lemon shark sets new game fish record

a dead lemon shark hanging in a parking lotStephen Liesen, of Quincy Illinois, caught a 380lb. lemon shark last Thursday, just outside Port Royal Sound in 35′ of water, claiming the new state record. His lemon shark beat the old record by 10lbs., which was set back in 2002 by Ronald Price of Ladson.

Stephen said the female lemon shark put up a good fight, and that it took him over 30 minutes to get it to the boat, leaving him exhausted. He used a 6.5′ Shakespeare Ugly Stik rod paired with a Shimano Tiagra reel, probably similar to the one pictured below, and had cut barracuda fillets for bait.
