A must watch! ?

No spoilers. Highly recommend, especially if you're a Miami local, an angler, or you've been to Miami's Famous South Beach! You'll be amazed at the history. Awesome footage and interviews with many of the local fishermen of the time and the giant sharks they caught off the old 1920s "Million Dollar Peer" that used to be off todays's SOBE Nikki Beach on 1st street. You'll be amazed at the transformation Miami's South Pointe has gone through out the years that many people have no idea about. This documentary covers most of the history of Miami's famous South Beach starting in the 1920s and mostly 1960s, 70s and 80s! Very well made documentary on stories and footage that needed to be shared! ?

Miami's Best Club is South Beach Shark Club

A must watch! South Beach Shark Club is an incredible documentary that has a little something for everyone. It is not only a true testament to the real history of Miami Beach, but also a fascinating look into the true grit and dedication to the sport. It introduces you to a delightfully charismatic community within it and their stories will have you borderline nostalgic afterwards, wishing you were there to see it all in person. Even if you aren't into fishing, you will be after you watch this.

This doc will "hook" you in right away and you should "catch" it ASAP if you have yet to see it. Highly recommend!

Pretty Fire Movie

This movie goes above and beyond telling a story and sharing a culture that doesn't often get talked about when Miami is being discussed. While its sold as a story about this very specific group punk rock fishermen in the Miami of decades past, it uses the time frame to explore a life style, a culture, and a way of life that is often left out of the conversation when Miami is talked about at large. The events this movie is centered on takes place long before I was born but as someone who considers themselves a Miami Native, I was shocked I hadn't heard it before! So whether you just like Miami Vice, are a fan of fishing, just like documentaries, this one is packed with a wild tale about some people who lived large and lived hard, the South Beach Shark Club!
