My father, Troy Martin caught this 14'7" off of Bob Hall back in the day sent by Stephanie Martin.

This sawfish was caught in the early 1960s. I posted the original b&w photo with a current photo of the rod used on Tuesday, May 12.

Bob Hall Pier early 1970s. That's Roxanne "Roxie" Bratcher. She and her husband Tommy were into shark fishing. She was a King HS graduate and her husband a Ray HS grad.

I posted this over a year ago and it got 134,000 views so many of you have already seen this photo of the shark that Roxie caught.
