Ash Perdue, 23, and Ayden Rogers, 18, went shark fishing from the beach on Feb. 13. They had a drone and two 80W reels. They sent a bait out at around 4 a.m. Just as they were going to reel it in at around 12:30 p.m., their line took off.
"After like a 30-minute fight we brought in a 10-foot tiger shark off the coast of the Ormond/Flagler area," Perdue said.
They managed to release the shark back into the surf.
Rogers works at Ikes Granada Pier Bait and Tackle.
