After months & months of hooking & fighting these beautiful sea creatures, I finally got the chance to land one. And man, AINT SHE A BEAUT?!

Thanks to my girl for getting me a new fishing hat. The moment I hooked up, the wind died off, and the sun was beaming down at 91°, so my new hat kept me safe from those powerful sun rays.

Fight time: 40mins.
Rod & Reel setup: CalStar 800MH, Avet MXJ w/30lb mono + 100lb leader.
Bait: Live Sardine.
Species: 7'0" EST.60lbs.
Location: Pacific Ocean.

I have seen several Threshers of the same size caught in that area. More than once on the pier.
Congrats.
