How did you lose any sinkers to leopards? Needle nose pliers and your good. No need to cut line....

That and if they are legal (36") they are totally worth keeping, great eats.

So you're assuming that I'm literally cutting my line and losing and entire setup?
YakDout
02-22-2015, 05:34 PM
Sorry for the assumption, I just don't know how you can lose that many sinkers to a fish that is easily landed on your lap and hook retrieved out of mouth with a pair of pliers. Unless the taxman or a seal came up and ate your leopard shark. Is this what happened jorge? 😁

First thing I thought was drop shot or similar rig that the shark bit through. Jorge did tell me once that leopard sharks gave him nightmares though so you might be onto something yakdonut.

I guess the one mistake that I made was that I had my Leopard Shark rig and not my halibut rig.......darn!!!

They're kind of like dogs, they can kind of bend in half. Just because you have the tail, doesn't mean you are in control of the business end!

Leopard sharks are definitely dangerous, I hate catching those things. If you bring them up on to your lap....well you can see what can happen. They're super strong and they can roll on a dime...a lot of times your sinker will already be missing when you bring the shark up, just due to the shark rolling around and biting at whatever it thinks is trying to get it.

Yeah I don't know why anyone would try to boat one. a hook or a sinker isn't worth it
YakDout
02-23-2015, 02:04 PM
Hook, maybe not, with the price of lead, sinker is worth it to me. I lap almost all leopard sharks and remove hook if I can. They're strong and they can still get you even if you're hands are on their tail, but two hands takes care of that. Makos and threshers, that's a different story.

If you have 2 hands on the Leopard, who is taking out the hooks? Let them tire themselves out and just pop the hooks at yak side.

So did the power and ducer wires hold the FF, or was it donated?
I've had a close one with a YT smacking my FF, but fortunately it did not pop off.

George, just go buy a pair of pliers.

Quit being so stubborn....all the cool guys use pliers these days...:D







Or start working out so that you too will develop large muscles capable of controlling sharks in your lap. I know that there is at least one guy that could train you.



Good luck with the whole pliers thing....call Yak Doubt...he can give you a lesson on proper plier use......

This is true, PM me for phone number if you would like sometime, and we can discuss proper plier usage. 😁

No didn't lose anything, just pushed my FF down. Either click the link or Fast forward to 2:35 to see the shark in action.
