South Carolina state-record lemon shark landed at Lemon Shark Hole
Illinois angler Stephen Liesen (right) told Capt. Chip Michalove (left) that he didn't want to kill a shart unless it was a state record.

Chip Michalove that he wanted a monster shark when they departed the docks at 2 p.m. on Friday (July 23). By the time they returned to the marina at Hilton Head Harbor later that afternoon, they had caught the state-record lemon shark weighing 380-pounds.

The early bird gets summer specks
Capt. Brad Rumph shows off the kind of speckled trout that will hit a big topwater bait first thing in the morning. Capt. Brad Rumph operates Sonny Boy Charters, which hints at the local dialect that’s a part of the Wadmalaw, Edisto and Johns Island area. Rumph, a Johns Island native, has fished out of Bohicket Marina for years and has built up a storehouse of knowledge on his own, as well as picking up plenty from local legends such as Capt. Harry Limehouse and Capt. Sidi Limehouse.

But that hasn't been the only thing he's paid any attention to.
