Thanks mad, that's what struck me too.

And to add, how many times have you read [on the internet] "I only take one a year, blah, blah, blah"?

Say 500 folks only taking one a year. Thats five hundred local sharks taken out of the system. There may be 500 yak fishermen that only get 1 YT a year (LJ loc's not withstanding), but a school of YT could have 500 fish. A school of sharks is maybe 5. Just thinking aloud.

I think once one starts the thresher fishing, it evens out because there is a realization that releases become a better option, vs the PITA of the kill/paddle/clean/disposal/storage/possible waste.
